USA taken offline by a cable cut!

Some other bad news that wasn't reported today: "I can't ping some-random-router.some-institute.edu - it used to work but it doesn't now. OMGZ DA USA IZ OFFLINE!!!".

That's bad news in the "Regurgitate ill-informed rumours" sense, simply cause a simplistic web-page says some host is down, which at least a few high-profile bloggers who should know better have fallen victim to (never mind news-aggregation sites who don't care what rubbish stories drive their impression count). Better and more fact-based commentary on how the cable-cuts have affected internet connectivity is out there..
