Facebook went down for a little bit on Monday, which for most people was a slight inconvenience. Others, however, lost their shit a little.

CBS San Francisco report that shortly after the service stopped working, not one, not two, but FIVE PEOPLE called 911.

"Our lines are [sic] dedicated to handle life and death calls, and even though Facebook is important to a lot of people, it's not a matter of life and death when it stops working," a dispatcher told CBS (via Boing Boing). "One caller even called back to tell me I was being rude because I told her it wasn't a life threatening emergency."

Did facebook say why it went down? I mean was this a routine maintenance or a network hiccup/issue? Or was it a precursor to an attack? (I mean other sites/services have been hit with them a lot lately, so why not facebook too?)

Though it's sad how quick people were to call emergency services over this.
 
Crazy, that some people called 911 to report Facebook being down. I wonder if some of them suffer with a mental illness which make them act crazy even if they don't want to do crazy things, and they are being controlled by crazy voices, and thoughts in their heads.

I think people who call 911 because of Facebook being down should be supervised more by their parents, or guardian, so they don't use the phone to make crazy calls to 911 and other phone numbers.
 
Pff... This is ridiculous... I mean, Facebook has been down for a few minutes several times during the past few months... What is wrong with these people? I wonder how the call went?

"911, what's your emergency?"
"Uhm... Help. I can't access Facebook..."
"... wtf?!"
"Send an ambulance to fix my facebook please!"

:rolleyes:
 
It is quite surprising that five people reached the same conclusion of 911 being relevant for a FB-is-down issue.

I think this is still a valid question, while the purpose of the thread is to talk about the reaction to the event, I think this shouldn't be brushed aside by the media. For all we know it could even had been a successful attack, but hey, let's be distracted facepalming these FB addicted people.
