I mean, you're an idiot if you post that public on the internet about
your own place of work. What do you think would happen? Nothing? He should
never of said anything, but now the Facebook hitman got him.

Facebook will have to send out a Reason For Outage with all the services
it's effecting, like login

You laugh but that kind of sounds like what happened so far as oops we
isolated prod and are scrambling on DR. There was someone supposedly live
tweeting from their incident response for a bit before their account panic
deleted.

I got a mail that Facebook was leaving NLIX. Maybe someone botched the
script so they took down all BGP sessions instead of just NLIX and now they
can't access the equipment to put it back... :-)

I know what this is.....  They forgot to update the credit card on their
godaddy account and the domain lapsed.  I guess it will be facebook.info
when they get it back online.  The post mortem should be an interesting
read.

Normally not worth mentioning random $service having an outage here,
but this will undoubtedly generate a large volume of customer service
calls.

Appears to be failure in DNS resolution.
