Amazon Goes Down, The Internet Freaks Out

Amazon Down

Did you need a new bulk pack of toilet paper? Maybe you had planned on snagging a .59c pack of door hinges? Well, it seems you won’t be able to for the time being as Amazon.com is having major issues.

Multiple reports are coming in that the site is experiencing errors of all sorts. Some pages won’t load up at all, while some take forever to load, and still others whose links are simply broken. (see photo above)

More interesting is that the Amazon Web Service isn’t reporting any outages or issues of any kind. We have unconfirmed reports from those in IT at Amazon that there is a serious panic taking place behind closed-door at this very moment. As we can’t confirm, we must take that claim with a grain of salt.

UPDATE: Regular service has been restored to the website. Still no word on what caused the issues this afternoon
