ctually began with a configuration change that affected the entire internal backbone. That cascaded into Facebook and other properties disappearing and staff internal to Facebook having difficulty getting service going again.
Facebook posted a further blog post with a lot more detail about what happened. You can read that post for the inside view and this post for the outside view.
At the end of the day THE [DATA] TRAFFIC between all these computing facilities is managed by routers, which figure out where to send all the incoming and outgoing data. And in the extensive day-to-day work of maintaining this infrastructure, Facebook's META engineers often need to take part of the backbone offline for maintenance — perhaps repairing a fibre line, adding more capacity, or updating the software on the router itself.
This was the source of yesterday’s outage. During one of these routine maintenance jobs, a command was issued with the intention to assess the availability of global backbone capacity, which unintentionally took down all the connections in our backbone network, effectively disconnecting Facebook data centers globally. Their systems are designed to audit commands like these to prevent mistakes like this, but a bug in that audit tool prevented it from properly stopping the command.
This change caused a complete disconnection of Facebook's server connections between their data centres and the internet. And that total loss of connection caused a second issue that made things even worse.

le energies – are connecting the human race, what is so shocking
is that no one has offered much of a reason as to why we ought to be connected. We talk
breathlessly about access and inclusion in a global communications network but speak little
of exactly why we want to communicate with one another on such a planetary scale. What’s
sorely missing is an overarching reason that billions of human beings should be
increasingly connected. Toward what end? The only feeble explanations thus far offered are
to share information, be entertained, advance commercial exchange and speed the
globalization of the economy. All the above, while relevant, nonetheless seem insufficient to
justify why nearly seven billion human beings should be connected and mutually embedded
in a globalized society. The idea of even billion individual connections, absent any overall
unifying purpose, seems a colossal waste of human energy. More important, making global
connections without any real transcendent purpose risks a narrowing rather than an
expanding of human consciousness. But what if our distributed global communication
networks were put to the task of helping us re-participate in deep communion with the
common biosphere that sustains all of our lives?…
ce, our essence; to choose to be on its path.
Love is pure, simple, kind, sweet, passionate, giving, receiving, peaceful; it is the journey of ones spirit in connection to ones soul, in connection to the soul of another. One Soul.
Love fly’s through the depths of being, having no limitations, no place in bondage.
Love is energy waiting to be freed.
Love is eternal.
Love has no beginning; love has no end.
Love simply is.

nce that evolves through the
intertwined connection of two worlds: the visible realm above the surface and the invisible
realm below.
The words culture and cultivation originate from practicing this very activity—cultivating the topsoil by deepening the connection between both worlds (e.g., by ploughing).
