Facebook was down

Is this a first? I can't remember the last time it happened.

Edit: down in France as well.

and Germany. First major outage, no?

Apparently Facebook over IPv6 is working: https://www.v6.facebook.com

So I'm guessing it's related to their IPv4 infrastructure. Say, a load balancer?

I took off my wlan cable on and off. It didn't help. Then I stopped the electricity for a moment - I believe in complete cold restarts. Still nothing :)
