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

Witnesses reported seeing military intelligence trucks parked outside the Coyoacán telephone exchange on Calle Del Carmen.
At that exact same hour, the pirate FM broadcast relay in Coyoacán that had been re-transmitting Nova's songs went silent.

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

My cousin still has a cassette taped off the air that night. Right before the station cut out, there was a high-pitched carrier squeal.

Look at the Paju blueprint from Korea: five tunnels under the DMZ, but the fifth tunnel had no exit -- it was an acoustic horn.
