Building A Crash-Proof Internet

Building a crash-proof internet? Is there really such a thing or is it just a pipe-dream lying at the bottom of the ocean waiting to be dug up by a boat anchor?

Eight years on, and events have proved otherwise. A series of catastrophic failures seems to suggest that the internet is rather more vulnerable to accidents, earthquakes or misplaced ships' anchors than people thought. At tens, perhaps hundreds, of places around the world, the net seems to be hanging by a thread.
