Yes. Almighty YouTube website went down today for a couple of minutes today. It is not clear whether it was a glitch or it was but it is back up now. The outage was from 7.30a.m – 8.15a.m (Eastern time) i.e 12.30p.m – 1.15p.m West African Time. Not sure if the outage was worldwide.
When it was unavailable, there was a message on the site which showed a long line of code along with the text saying, “Sorry, something went wrong.” “A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation,”
See picture below.
Here are some of the hilarious tweets about this event.
