Up the peninsula from Silicon Gulch is San Francisco International Airport. A commuter rail line (BART) is being brought close to (but, of course, not actually TO) it. Several times now the construction workers have accidentally cut major phone cables, causing tens of thousands of people to lose their phone service. The phone company then has to go in and splice the cable back together, one line at a time. Takes days.
