If the incidents were isolated, then I could see this working. In the case of the recent DNS blackout, that took out everyone. Wouldn't that bankrupt the insurance co?

Good insurance companies do not go bankrupt because they measure risk correctly and do not take too much of it on themselves. Essentially it is their job to distribute the risk such that the company remains profitable. A global reaching event would simply be uninsurable.
