Description

A caller reaches 311 attempting to leak information regarding the combustion of a phone booth and its possible significance as it relates to the AT&T Long Lines Building, a windowless skyscraper in downtown Manhattan. Depositing a hollow nickel containing a microSD card, the individual speaks with a telephone operator who assists in discerning the essence of this ominous image. Shortly after the film was made, the building was reported to be a major communication node in a covert NSA surveillance network.
