Interesting editing by the Washington Post...especially the last sentence:

"Around midnight, two days before the merger was announced, an AT&T employee noticed smoke coming out of a Ciena power supply circuit board. Smoke or fire in a lab test is probably the worst thing that can happen to an AT&T vendor: AT&T officials still shiver when they recall Mother's Day 1988, when a fire swept through a phone switching facility in Hinsdale, Ill., knocking out service for weeks. Within days AT&T asked Ciena to remove its equipment."

Ciena didn't exist in 1988, the IPO was 1997.

Just to clarify.
