Cables in the Luzon Strait break in sequence over nine hours

node

The sediment flows released by the doublet cut the submarine cables crossing the Luzon Strait, and they cut them one after another rather than at once — the published analyses describe an initial group of breaks stepping down the canyon system over roughly nine hours, with the timing of each break consistent with flow velocities of several metres per second. Counts differ by what is being counted: retrieved sources variously give eight or nine cable systems, eleven cables across the Kaoping canyon and Manila Trench, thirteen sequential breaks and twenty-two breaks in total. The disagreement is real and is a counting-definition problem, not an error, and this pack states the range rather than choosing.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
