Elderly Georgian lady disconnects Armenian internet for half a day... by accident

A 75-year old lady from Georgia (the country, not the state) has perpetrated an impressive feat of international sabotage in what seems to have been an accident of extremely bad luck. While foraging for copper wire near her home in the village of Ksani, the unnamed septuagenarian managed to come across a critical fiber optic cable, one responsible for serving internet connectivity to "90 percent of private and corporate internet users in Armenia" and some in her own country as well. Her swift strike at the heart of said bit-transferring pipeline resulted in all those folks being thrown offline for a solid 12 hours, while the Georgian Railway Telecom worked to find and correct the fault. In spite of her relatively benign motivations, the lady now faces three years in prison for the damage she caused. We'd say all's well that ends well, but this doesn't actually seem like a very happy ending at all.

Я одного не понимаю, неужели один провод обеспечивает 90 процентов инета целой страны?:)

ну страна та то та мелкая, в NJ вся влезет пару раз. А кабель, таки дофига пропускает и стоит кстати тоже дофига. И он скорее такой вот http://i01.i.aliimg.com/photo/v1/322028727/GYTA53_Outdoor_Fiber_Optic_Cable.jpg
и перекусить его бокорезами - хрен там а не перекусить. Бабка была вооружена основательно.
