Thanks John. This reminds me of two I've not seen anyone mention yet. Both coincidentally in the Chicago area that I learned before my entry into netops full time. One was a flood: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_flood> The other, at the dawn of an earlier era: <http://telecom-digest.org/telecom-archives/TELECOM_Digest_Online/1309.html> I wouldn't necessarily put those two in the top 3, but by some standard for many they were certainly very significant and noteworthy.
