The error page is plain http, doesn't HSTS stop that?

Google doesn't have HSTS (on google.com).

The irony. Google understands that HSTS negatively impacts availability massively, and shouldn't be used for production websites, but recommends it to others.

Place those bets, was it BGP? My money is always on BGP somehow.

My bet:

It’s not DNS

There is a no way it’s DNS

It was DNS

https://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/06/26/michael.jackson.internet... This reminds me of the distant past. The death of Michael Jackson resulted in ( almost literally) the entire internet suffering an outage.

More than that on 9/11. Every news site, online forum any online resource for news you can think of was unaccessible for hours. TV turned out to be the only news source.

The difference in internet adoption rate between those two time periods likely plays a key role in that.
