I've spoke with one of the people involved in the recovery of that office. The AT&T switch continued to operate through the fire and several weeks afterwards. They have a tape of a newscast where Mayor Koch is praising the efforts of New York Telephone and the people of New York. A better example is Hinsdale Illinois. As far as I know, I haven't met anyone personally involved with that one. It disrupted a lot of service, I don't think the fire destroyed the entire building. The most recent example is Rochelle Park, NJ; but I believe that building was officially owned by Bell Atlantic. There the damage was limited to power equipment. With divesture, the pre-divesture disasters as well as the Bell logo went on to the books of the LECs. AT&T's NDR has only been around since 1991. So the statement is technically correct, although it omits some details.
