Rats!!

Channelnewsasia.com

Communications chaos in NZ caused by rats

"The outage also disrupted banking and air travel and closed the country's stock exchange, with communications disrupted throughout much of the country for five hours on Monday."

NZ has been in a muddle. The rats chewed through fibre optic cable on the east side of the north island and then workmen cut cable on the west side of the island. It disrupted communications for more than 5 hours on Monday! The story wasn't reported here that I know of. Hope the Kiwis were okay without their ATMs, net and phones. I should think so. A very resourceful nation.
