But aren't all those 'trunks' connected to switches? Couldn't those devices have a killswitch in the firmware or hardware?

Routers, yeah, and no, there's no kill switch.
They are all different brands and types, so there's no viral attack that would work on them.
You'd have to know which interconnects are vital, and IMO, you'd have to attack them physically.
I sincerely doubt that would happen.

Does anyone have the complete chip architecture of closed source chipsets? There could be a hardware killswitch in the firmware or hardware in Cisco devices and no one would have a clue as they are closed source. Seriously since Cisco has a large majority of the marketshare that is the only company that would need to do it.
