It didn't matter if you did have a cellphone, the network was completely overloaded all day, getting a call through was unlikely. I remember CNN.com being down

I remember CNN.com being down for the longest time. I didn't have a television or radio so I ended up following along on the BBC website, which didn't crash. Kudos to the engineers behind that one.
- jen20 4y agoAs I recall, bbc.com was built with WebObjects and a heavy layer of static geneation/caching in front of it at that time, and probably served from Solaris or FreeBSD. This seems like the kind of forum where someone would know with certainty however!
- mjhagen 4y agoDidn't CNN.com switch to a text only mode?
- techdragon 4y agoIt did. I don’t remember for how long though. But it went text only to keep up with the demand once they had time to make changes.
