Facebook crashed on Tuesday and people took to Twitter to lob complaints, laugh and joke about the outage. Website monitoring site DownRightNow noted that the social network went down at around 9:10 p.m. ET.
Those who tried logging on saw this error message:
As of 11:00 p.m. ET, the site is back up. It is unclear what sparked the outage and how widespread the problem was, NBC News reported.
Were you affected by the outage? Tell us what you did to pass time in the comments section below.
You can't even go on Facebook to complain about how Facebook is down. Tweeting FTW.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. #facebookdown
