Direct Nuclear Blast Could Cut New Phone Cable
A 3218 mile underground transcontinental telephone cable near five feet deep is designed to survive blasts and may be the only direct link in a crisis. Bell System officials say only a direct nuclear blast would sever it. the line runs from New York to Fairfield Kansas and will reach the West Coast later this year.
