The title now says "Amazon was down" but I'm still getting "Http/1.1 Service Unavailable"
I removed the querystring from the URL and then it worked for me.

you apparently have never been to the aws status page.
We are talking about Amazon.com, not AWS. They are completely independent services
Amazon.com does run on EC2. You can bet that if EC2 had a a complete regional outage (which is extremely rare) Amazon.com would be down.
In general Amazon.com makes extensive use of AWS services internally as well, but it's very well architected to handle service outages without it being immediately obvious to the end user.

I did as well, and still got the error. I'm now getting the home page, but that doesn't necessarily mean the site's fully back up.

I understand this wasn't a general AWS outage, AWS !== amazon.com, and that successful hosting in EC2 requires specific architectural decisions to make things run reliably in face of zone/region outages.
What i didn't realize was that jokes about Amazon being somewhat slow and cryptic with information about outages while they're happening were off-limits.
