    I still think it's wild that so much of the Internet is held together by giant undersea cables.

    It sounds like people are suspicious a war could have been responsible for these ones being damaged, but also it's not exactly a stable environment under the the sea... I imagine this happening isn't too far fetched, and I know it happened many times when cables were first being strung for telegram services.

      it happens by accident from time to time, i'd look for something like israel magically not being affected or for the state department to throw accusations around
