地球隨便把身子震一震,就震斷了幾條海底電纜,令亞洲地區的互聯網及對外通訊大受影響。
從來都覺得「海底電纜」這種東西很神奇。有次看Discovery的特備節目,講述昂坪纜車如何建造,方知道要把一條鋼纜從一個山頭拉到另一個山頭,是多麼浩大的工程;而我們的昂坪纜車在連跨幾個山頭之餘,還要跨一個海面,難度當然更高!
同樣是「纜」,「海底電纜」的鋪設同樣艱巨,更何況它要跨越的是洲與洲之間的大洋!可是,有關「海底電纜」的工程,似乎從來都是很低調地進行。
我們在新聞中,經常會得知甚麼跨海大橋、摩天大廈、世紀大壩等等地上偉大工程的建造消息,它們在動土前、落成後、啟用時,都會有相關的儀式及報道。然而,很少會聽說有甚麼「海底電纜」新聞,頂多只是偶爾的一句半句:「某某海底電纜已正式啟用,可提高某地區與某地區的通訊量若干倍……」
有時覺得,「海底電纜」就像一夜之間就出現的。彷彿就像玩《Sim City》,要鋪電纜就用滑鼠在地圖上一「拉」,電纜就出現了!
「海底電纜」當然不是一夜間可以鋪好,卻原來可以在一夜之間就毀掉。今次事件,絕對是一個大警號。
