Fiber cut - response in seconds?

I sent this to all of our transport people to.. Was quite curious as to
what they'd use for this.

However, they are the federal government - so anything is possible.

Not sure if I fully believe the article. Responding to a fiber cut in
seconds?

I suppose it's possible if $TLA had people monitoring the construction
from across the street, and they were in communication with the NOC.
