Never used firebase but for what it's worth you can take down most databases with a bad enough query.
In the RDBMS world, you can take down pretty much any database by giving someone in accounting a copy of Crystal Reports :)
How, specifically? Something like a very complex query joining too many tables, or maybe a full Cartesian product of n > 2 tables?

You are right. But we usually have multiple ways to query our data in a DB. Not many ways to do that with the limited Firebase API.

Nope. A clear server crash with "Internal Server Error" and the DB being totally unavailable for 10-15 mins. Apparently it's 'normal'.
Running a query takes down the db?
That sounds like a major problem. How can that happen?
Maybe returning incorrect or incomplete results due to sharding... But taking the db down? That's very... Unexpected.
