I was with AGCS when 9/11 went down - the maker of the GTD5 telephone switch in the basement of tower1. On that Tuesday, we all gathered in the conference room and watched the video unroll before our eyes! A few hours later, we had leadership calling us out and we began work, assembling switch components and related parts. The two emergency earthquake trailers were pulled in from CA and we stripped them and refitted them It took 2 days, working around the clock, but they rolled out and had a police escort! They left Phoenix AZ on Sunday afternoon and arrived in Brooklyn early on Tuesday! Those truckers hauled ass!! Brooklyn had it's phone system back!

@@bobsmithinson2050 Negative, the network cables of today replace all the telecoms cables before them. Where previously you may have even had several phones on a single desk, every phone would need a dedicated line, and a line for every single desk. Today it's a maximum of 1 RJ45 per desk which carries all communications, phone and internet, plus WiFi throughout giving way to collaboration spaces which have no phones or network ports at all, you just show up with your laptop. Further, all you need going to each office now are one or two leased lines per office, whereas back then every single phone you had, had to have a dedicated line as far as the switching equipment, which also needed as many lines going out of the building as would ever be in use at one time (so say you had 20,000 phones in the building, assuming no more than 5,000 people would be on the phone at any one point that's as many trunks as you'd actually need leaving the building, but all 20,000 lines would actually have to run as far as the switching floors before they're consolidated, and each company would pay for their own dedicated trunks).

That’s crazy considering voip was relatively new technology on the consumer and commercial markets at the time. Each building had 100,000+ pots lines when constructed. Assuming by 2001 the number of lines increased by at least 3, for every line an additional added about every 10 years, you’re talking about approximately 600,000 phone lines converted to voip by 2001. NYC must have been WAY ahead of the times compared to everywhere else to accomplish that. We didn’t start rolling it out in large scale in Florida (with the exception of inter office communications) until almost a decade later.

One pair of wires for each phone line; thats how it was back then! Thats a lotta copper! I collect business phones from that time (1A2 phones). Thats when telephones and systems were rock solid! The phone systems in WTC were probably amazing!

I knew a telecom worker who missed his train that fateful morning. They were installing data cabling. he was the only member of his crew that survived. My other friend was a firefighter who was responding to the WTC. He died too. I watched them construct the Twin Towers, stood on top of one of the Towers in 1977 and used to meet my mother for lunch there. It is devastating that the towers were destroyed and so many innocent people lost their lives. If your ideology, religion or cause says that it is ok to murder civilians, it is probably the wrong ideology!
