The only thing left after a nuclear explosion would be cockroaches and central offices. These buildings were built to withstand any. They are thick with deep basements. I have seen some saying they have been fortified since adding NSA as a client and I call bullshit. I have been inside these things. They are beasts.
The hole in the center of the “explosion” photo is a handhole. I attached two pictures for reference. They are dug 4-10 feet down and concrete handholes are placed. Fib r from all directions come into the box and it allows for fiber loops and organization prior to pulling the fibers into the building.
The blown out areas were existing louver panels that give the appearance of windows but are not. Ma Bell loved adding these panels to soften the appearance of these ugly ass buildings.
When considering the blast area just remember that the rectangular openings were already there AND there was a deep hole to begin with.
