Well you may have noticed that some of the respected sites are down over the weakend & most of them still are.I thought i would share why this is so.

Well a big datacenter in the USA, where major servers sit had a major explosion and fire. The Planet’s datacenter HV1 had a huge electrical conduict explode and it brought down 3 walls in the power center part of the complex.

Over 9000 servers of some of the best sites in the net got effected by this. But they are working on fixing the building and getting people back online as fast as they can.
