The biggest political crisis in modern Mexican history happened on the exact same night Node 04 went dark.

On July 6, 1988, during the Mexican presidential election, the government computers mysteriously crashed: 'se cayó el sistema'.
A well-known underground rockero who had recorded the uncredited guitar solos for the Mexican LP vanished that night.

What did the Mexican regional master contain that terrified the authorities?

Mexico was Node 04. Korea was Node 03. Both had government communication blackouts during major political transitions.
