   The Christmas Day bombing in downtown Nashville led to phone and data   
   service outages and disruptions over hundreds of miles in the southern   
   U.S., raising new concerns about the vulnerability of   
   U.S. communications.   
      
   The blast seriously damaged a key AT&T network facility, an important   
   hub that provides local wireless, internet and video service and   
   connects to regional networks. Backup generators went down, which took   
   service out hours after the blast. A fire broke out and forced an   
   evacuation. The building flooded, with more than three feet of water   
   later pumped out of the basement; AT&T said there was still water on   
   the second floor as of Monday.
