If you’re living outside the United States, there’s a very good chance you’re reading this website via underground internet cables. In the Middle East, there’s close to a dozen internet cable lines zipping under boats and fish alike in the Mediterranean. A few weeks ago, FIVE of those cables were damaged causing internet black outs and brown outs across a vast expanse of countries in the Middle East including Egypt and India. The only country not affected by the “damaged” wires was Israel. (Their cable lines aren’t shared as the other countries are.)
At the time they were all blamed on the anchors of ships. After the cables were repaired, only one of those lines was determined to be damaged by an anchor.
And really, if you think about it, the sheer quantity of cables broken in only a few weeks time….?
Let the conspiracy theories begin.
