What amazing foresight they had, to just *know* that COVID would be so bad.
Can you please just state what you believe is going on? Please put the pieces together for me.
Thank you.

Regarding tunnels in large cities, they are probably quite common as a means to lay communications wires/cables and distribution lines for electric utilities. Downtown areas are built to last, and it’s not reasonable to dig a hole every time a cable fails in order to repair the cable. Enter convenient manholes and a network of tunnels where the electric supply cables are mounted along the walls, so that they can be replaced in sections if they fault (fail).
We had them in Cleveland, OH, for both our electric grid supply for downtown and for steam pipes that we used to supply some 100 buildings (I don’t know the condition of the steam system at this point). Ohio Bell had theirs as well. A lot of these tunnel systems date back to the turn of the century (1900), though they’ve undoubtedly been improved and expanded as downtown areas have grown.
makes me wonder now, if the explosion wasn’t planted under ground in the tunnels leading to the AT&T building, taking out a bunch of comm cables and power supply cables, and possibly damaging into the lower level of the building itself. The way the metal cover plates were blown off lends to the theory that the blast, at least the initial blast, took place underground.
