Actually I am finding the cell system not working again, very interesting. It was reported here over the weekend that the cells went down at the Sooners game right after the bomb went off. At the game, it had nothing to do with panic...interesting.

Advantages of taking the cell systems down, no secondary explosions, no communication between t-cell members...cell phones are used frequently to set off IEDs.

It may be standard procedure. Didn't London shut down cell service right after the bombings?

It could be that the cell system is not down, but that the cell phone company has switched the system over to emergency mode, which gives the police and other emergency agencies priority use of the system.

You used the term "cells went down" - did you mean they were just overloaded so you couldn't get through?
