At one time that building was probably stuffed to the brim with switch gear, but as technology improves, the stuff shrinks and things go away. Not familiar with that particular CO, so I can't really offer much more than casual information about it. But it probably offers a massive incoming data connection for ... things. I'm sure that explosion did some nice damage to the comms stuff, but you'd probably have to take the building down to destroy it.
One of the takeaway points is that most major cities, even if they aren't served by a particular entity, often times have substantial infrastructure running through them. For example, US West (Qwest) used to have a heavy comms backbone running through the Midwest (Indiana, Ohio, etc.) even though they didn't serve those areas.
Just saying be careful out there. There are a lot of targets, and people don't even realize that they are sitting on top of one.
Thank you for the great post Patriot, and i agree with you. this is why i stress to everyone, keep situational awareness at all times, I highly suspect there is still unfinished business in Knoxville, and the DS FF used Antifa to distract from the real objective.
I really appreciate this information you are sharing here with us. I stayed away from the new technology as much as I could. never signed up for Fakebook or twitter.
And I hope people take your warning to heart. Ignorance is not bliss any longer.
