As I posted earlier, last week three undersea cables were cut in three consecutive days.
Now I find at Belmont Club that it’s five cables.
A total of five cables being operated by two submarine cable operators have been damaged with a fault in each. These are SeaMeWe-4 (South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe-4) near Penang, Malaysia, the FLAG Europe-Asia near Alexandria, FLAG near the Dubai coast, FALCON near Bandar Abbas in Iran and SeaMeWe-4, also near Alexandria.
Of course, as Wretchard points out, the Jews are being blamed because they weren’t affected. The real reason they weren’t affected is that Israel uses a different cable since other Middle East countries refused to share theirs.
Never mind that undersea cable damage is an everyday thing.
In other cable news, Obi’s Sister says that this would make a great geek wedding cake design
Ah, Fausta, I can see the marquees now:
“My Big Fat Geek Wedding”
Starring Bill and Melinda Gates, perhaps?
And those two have the dough for the cake, Francis!
