Heck, just look at Twitter itself from its original "Fail Whale" days where there was so much downtime, to now where even this relatively small amount of downtime is the top story on HN for hours.

So, when it went down, was there a Fail Whale displayed during this most recent incident?

I think they retired the fail whale some time ago.
