Cell phones disabled in New York tunnels

By

I found it interesting that since the attacks in the UK that cell phone service in New York commuter tunnels has been turned offin order to help safe guard New York City. Two of the four tunnles had their service turned back on late Monday, but the other two still are disabled for safety reasons. Pretty amazing that cell phone service and be enabled and disabled in certain places these days.

Cell phone service to two of the tunnels had been shut down in a miscommunication between the New York Police Department and the Manhattan Transportation Authority, officials said. Service to those two tunnels was restored. No specific reason had been given for the move to stop service Thursday after the London blasts, which killed more than 50 people, but cell phones have been used to trigger bombs in the past.
