Level 3 Global Outage

I'm having issues reaching IP addresses unrelated to Cloudflare. Based on some traceroutes, it seems AS174 (Cogent) and AS3356 (Level 3) are experiencing major outages.

Is there any one place that would be a good first place to go to check on outages like this?

It would be really cool and useful to have an "public Internet health monitoring center"... this could be a foundation that gets some financing from industry that maintains a global internet health monitoring infrastructure and a central site at which all the major players announce outages. It would be pretty cheap and have a high return on investment for everybody involved.

Based on twitter, the outage was on multiple continents. What would cause that? Subsea cable broken?
