Internet downtime in Lisbon... and a lot other places

Is it only me that feels a little strange that a truck accident in an highway cuts internet to a lot of people?
And that no one really cares? If you look at the mainstream news agencies, the news is just a few lines long... but yesterday morning we could do no work... probably no one is going to do the math how much this breakup cost... but everyone one wants to know the color of Cristiano Ronaldo's knickers... What a great country we have...

PS: And the accident is a very nice excuse for a problem that started the day before...
