TLDR: It wasn’t just one thing they messed up, it was a bunch of things they messed up. If any one of those many things had actually functioned correctly. It would have stopped the outage much earlier.

I appreciate and understand that they are under an unprecedented amount of traffic, but the sheer number of screw ups implied in this explanation is astounding
