Today, Wikipedia and YouTube were found to be down for some time, limiting user access to both sites. The main problem concerning Wikipedia was an overheating issue at one of the European data centers, in which the servers automatically shut themselves down to prevent damage to large amounts of hardware. Usually when this happens, which is not often at all, a backup system in Florida takes over the entire server load, but this also failed today, and shut down the site globally. Wikipedia is now back up though, and should be able to be accessed worldwide. YouTube on the other hand was down for a few hours, but Google has not stated exactly why or how this outage occurred. Embedded videos still worked as well as individual video pages, but the overall issue has been resolved fully now and the video site should be able to be completely accessed.
