Ik vermoed dat je enkele kabels dubbel in je lijstje hebt, want het zijn er toch minder dan 8. Zie bijvoorbeeld kabel 3 hieronder :
Cable # 1: Jan 23: FLAG FALCON Cable near Bandar Abbas, Iran. This was little reported and so if often not included in total counts of the recent cuts.
Cable # 2: Jan. 30: FLAG EUROPE ASIA: Cable cut between Alexandria (Egypt) and Palermo (Italy), only one cut. The cable cut was reported at 0800 GMT on January 30th 2008 around 8.3 Km away from Alexandria cable landing station between Egypt – Italy segment.
Cable # 3: Jan. 30: SEA-ME-WE-4 (South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe-4) first reported as cut also off the coast of Egypt as with the above FLAG cable, but a later confusing Feb 5th report says it was cut off Penang, Malaysia, and the New York Times said it was cut near Marseilles, France. It may or not have been cut in multiple locations or at all three points at different times, for possible insertion of communication interception equipment. Cuts 2 & 3 resulted in only 25% of communication capacity remaining between Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
Cable # 4: Feb. 1: FLAG FALCON Cable cut between Dubai (UAE) and Al SEEB (Oman). The cable cut was reported at 0559 GMT on February 1st 2008 around 56 km from Dubai.
Cable # 5: Feb 3: Power loss or break on cable DOHA-HALOUL connecting Qatar to the UAE, causing further disruptions to already damaged Middle Eastern communication networks. It became the fourth cable to be damaged in 5 days. The break location was between the Qarari island of Haloul and the UAE island of Das. The problem is said to be related to the power system.

Dit is het enige wat Steve Watson van Infowars.net er over zegt:
The cables are laid deep underwater and are extremely durable. The odds of five of these being damaged within 3 days are astronomical.
