What happened to all the tweets? Did I miss something? https://twitter.com/BBC
https://twitter.com/BBCNews/status/576735915856506880 -- "Apologies, as we are experiencing technical problems on the BBC News website. We are working hard to resolve the issues."
They have never tweeted from that account (see archive.org)
Even i cannot see any tweets in their page!
Maybe this instead: https://twitter.com/BBCNews

That's one sensational 500 page too! Anyone who has ever seen the old BBC test card will get a laugh out of it.
#BringBackClarkson ?

Whats happened to Anon if its fighting for Steak...?
Wow, main page 500s and pretty much everything else just fails to load. I wonder what bit the dust, you'd think a full-site failure like this would require a chain of bad things to happen!
The Sport section manages to load the menus and footer now, but no content. Earlier it was just a generic 500 error page.
I actually can't remember the last time the BBC went down. I was a little worried something horrible had happened.

Seems more like an attack now...

Probably easier to worm your way in to privileged networks and launch a BGP attack that physically attack exchanges like LINX. Isn't BGP essentially trusted?
is it a DNS issue...?
This is what i got...

An earlier story on the bbc homepage was 'How to really break the internet'.

Matter of time before this happened - theyu used to have decent techies - people who could develop, use perl wisely.
Then they went full on ruby mode - and all the halfbaked "developers" in that crowd.

BBC News still uses static files for deployment actually.
