• January 15, 1990: AT&T’s long-distance network– 65 million calls, 9 hours
– an upgrade to improve switch reliability
• August 10, 1996: electrical grid– 25 GW, 190 plants, 7.5 million customers, 9 states
– tree, automatic load-shedding
• April 23, 1997: Internet– 40% Net “black-hole”
– erroneous routing table pointing to 1 ISP
