Everyone the Comcast internet service in our area crashed yesterday morning. It was an inconvenience for me. Please try to imagine the problems this would cause for a police department, hospital, etc. In the case of the police department, an officer pulls a car over and calls for a routine license plate or name check. If the person is a dangerous and armed fugitive the officer could get killed if he or she does not know that they are dealing with a dangerous person. In the case of a hospital the Intensive Care unit and surgical rooms would not operate. It is not a nice scenario.
