Redundant equipment at other sites can’t handle the load perhaps? Or electricity shut off later to prevent live wires sparking gas explosions?

I don’t think their are gas lines in downtown Nashville. But the electrical boxes are underground.

This wasn’t the Bat Building ATT office, it was a separate building one block east. It’s read brick and ugly. Been there a long, long time.

There would have to be gas lines. Otherwise how would they heat?

Up until about 10 years ago most of downtown from the river to 8th Ave. were serviced by a thermal plant. They finally shut it down. Most buildings put in electric heating units.

There are lots of huge transformers and switches now under the sidewalks. One blew once and killed 2 people.

That’s interesting.

So who owned and operated the steam plant? Was it the city or was there a utility company that billed users for the steam?

Coming on the heels of the FireEye/Solarwinds security breach, I do not believe in coincidence. AT&T provides networking nodes to the DOD throughout the USA, I suspect a probe to gauge our response.

No. There will be a secessionist movement first. Hopefully it goes peacefully this time.

The city. And it’s fuel source was garbage. Took years of debate to get rid of it. I don’t think you can get gas lines up to I 40 but there are lines west past that starting at 14th ave.

The Loews Vanderbilt Hotel on 21st Ave had gas but only for the water boiler and kitchen. Heat and air came from huge air handling units.
