Interesting, usually this sort of thing turns up on the NANOG mailing list, but it's been pretty quiet over there.

NANOG seems mostly dead these days?

It was so active 10+ years ago, but I think it's basically gone?

Yeah I'm not sure what's up with that... I remember reading a thread on it last year about fires at various Colo DC'S.

Not sure if this would cause larger regional harm, but anecdotally there were issues connecting to our US east VPN at work.
