Apparently the AWS data center must be near whatever is on fire there.

@ai6yr it is so odd to see normal airport operations going on while there's very clearly something not right, like this time I was flying out of JFK

@ai6yr it's interesting that because of security and power reasons, datacenters tend to be near airports. But in this case, thats a risk factor too.

@ai6yr backhoe fade is no fun. Replacing those cables isn't easy.

I would however love to watch a splicing/repair operation at work. That kind of equipment is neato.

But does it count as force majeure if Amazon contributed to the outage by politically and financially supporting the regime which caused it? 🤔

@ai6yr If they actually wanted to get the US to stop, wiping out some AWS AZ would be a pretty good start.
