Search giant Google confirmed to the BBC that when the news first broke it feared it was under attack.
The microblogging service Twitter crashed with the sheer volume of people using the service.
Beginning at 2.30PM Pacific “the average speed for downloading news sites doubled from less than four seconds to almost nine seconds,” said Shawn White, Keynote’s director of external operations.
He told Data Center Knowledge that “during the same period, the average availability of sites on the index dropped from almost 100% to 86%”.
