The Night Instagram, Netflix, And Pinterest All Went Down Together

Power outages in northern Virginia impaired some of Amazon's cloud data centers, bringing Pinterest, Netflix, and Instagram down, all at the same time. All three sites are back online, although Instagram seems to be experiencing some lingering issues. Users headed to twitter to complain, make jokes, and try to make sense of their lives.
