Just a lucky break, I happened to had (at one time) responsibitly for two major US FO cables from AK to CONUS. Fishing gear was our #1 worry followed by, of all things, earthquakes of the coast of ORE.
Now, I just use the 'net and let someone else lose sleep over cable cuts..... it *is* way cool technology tho, esp the
erbium-doped parametric fiber optic amplifiers.
