Folks, I understand people are angry and frustrated. I understand this isn't the first time L2 has been down.
However, this problem is due to an unforeseeable event. I'm not going to pretend to understand the technicalities but in layman's terms as I understand it this is what transpired.
There was a power outage at Level 3 which is a global, highly respected transit network provider. Despite 2 diesel back up generators, they lost power completely.

When a catastrophic failure of this magnitude happens (it made the news even!), databases are going to be corrupted.
The guys in London have been working non-stop since 5:00am UK time (11pm EST) to get this situation resolved.
Unfortunately, there is still no estimated time for this to be resolved.
I know this explanation doesn't change frustration, however, I thought it important that people understand the situation fully.
