   > When it went to flip into the backup, we discovered that the backup fiber had a break

   Pretty grim that a life critical system wasn't designed to report that the backup fibre was unserviceable until they attempted to switch over to it.

   I wonder how long it was down? Days, weeks, months?

      Could this be sabotage?

         That seems more than merely plausible given current tensions and the location/timing connection with NYC and UN.

            "Current tensions" has been a convenient boogieman for the past 100 years, if not longer.

            You're going to be hard-pressed to find any point in the American empire's life when it doesn't have 'current tensions' with someone or other.

               There was a 10-year period starting in 1991 when mostly the US didn't expect much enemy action on our soil.
