Originally posted by ThePatriot: Anyone concerned that authorities were able to shut down the cell phone network in all of Boston so quickly? I heard this over Fox News during the bombing broadcast. Leaving millions of people without any way of communicating with loved ones after a tragedy like this is unacceptable.
So many of us are dependent upon those phones, losing their service leaves most of us paralyzed - unable to communicate and in many cases at a loss of what to do. Learn from this, prepare for this and ask yourself how would it be used against the American people by an oppressive government? What would you do if you lost phone service and internet? What if they controlled the news. What's your backup?
This is another reason why you must have secured ways of communicating other then Cell Phones or internet..
Please go in the comms forum and read what you need to do..If you haven't already
As Airforce said most likely cell service was overpowered by calls,but let's play devils advocate...
If they had the power to shut it down...
They sure would not want the public to know that..Retractions of that story does not mean they didn't do it.
