This is a very suspicious story. I wonder if vandals = terrorists.
My daughter's roomate's mother told me she heard that the fiber optics underneath the airport were destroyed. She overheard a conversation between a maintanance man who was helping to fix the problem and someone else. They guessed that this might be some kind of "practice run", as Purdue is a tiny airport. Also said Purdue was trying to locate a foreign exchange student (midEastern)...but he has "disappeared" now. I just pulled the article up thru a Google search. Friend said it was also on the local news in West Lafayette.
