London Attack Disrupts Phones, Web

Thursday's terrorist attacks on the public transportation system of the city of London have largely left the communications system of London intact. However, following the attacks it has been near impossible for any kind of communication to take place as networks were overloaded with calls.

All phone operators reported greatly increased activity on their networks and severe congestion. Several operators said customers were having to place calls several times in order to get a connection, although conditions improved throughout the day.

Reminds me of 9/11. I work for a telecom power company, and we had to ship some equipment out to get some "sites" back up because equipment was destroyed.
