When you visit http://twitter.com/nsa. Any browser experts know how to debug, or maybe twitter has been experimenting with some awful code?

Confirmed both on Chrome and Safari. Chrome's console even crashes if you try to "View Source"

It should be noted that this isn't an official NSA account

Most likely related to the OSX issue described here recently: https://github.com/HackerNews/HN/issues/19

It doesn't crash on Chromium, Firefox on Archlinux and Ubuntu.

Seems right. I reproduced the error on Chrome/Mac but it worked for me on Chrome/Windows.
