Anyone know where the actual cut is?
Based on the previously posted news articles ..
First one is in this proximity : 37°15'20.79"N 121°48'9.38"W
Second one is in this proximity : 37°29'44.00"N 122°14'44.31"W
First one is along a highway .. second one is along railroad tracks.
Google Earth's imagray of both areas is quite good (~.5m maybe) .. but
not quite good enough to make out manholes.
The manholes are clearly visible on the zoomed in images for the first
location (Old County Road, San Carlos). There is a line of 3 closely
spaced manholes easily seen in the middle of the south/east bound lane -
about 100-150 feet south/east (towards Redwood City) from where Google
places this location:
37°29'44.00"N 122°14'44.31"W
If you go to Google's Street View at the second location:
37°29'44.00"N 122°14'44.31"W
There's a manhole right there. However, the TV footage shows them
accessing the lines from a manhole in the dirt along the tracks, not a
manhole in the street.

Also interesting to note .. from one of the news articles .. "AT&T's
contract with the Communication Workers of America expired at 11:59
p.m. Saturday"
