Facebook briefly went down and no one could cope

Say it ain’t SO.

GUYS. FACEBOOK WAS down this evening for AT LEAST 10 minutes.

This is what we were greeted with when we tried to log on. The previously undiscovered 10th circle of hell.

Clearly, the first port of call for many was to hop over to Twitter to give out about it.

We were left contemplating a life without the social network

Whoops!

Facebook is down. God kills thousands of children as likes can't be turned into prayers. Tragic.

Facebook is back. It's like the electricity and the lights coming back on in the 70's when we were kids. #PowerFailure
