The day the Internet stood still!

On Wednesday morning at 10am Lincoln Daily News went missing, along with the internet service of a few thousand Central Illinois customers. The cause: someone dug through a main trunk fiber optic cable, bringing communications to a halt. Along with LDN, there would be no Netflix, email, or anything else internet related. Alexa was mute. Service returned before 2am on Friday making it some 40+ hours of "so, what do we do now?"

So, there isn't a regular Thursday edition of LDN, except for this explanation screen. Because it was the day.... the Internet stood still!
