Amazon Datacenter on Fire
-
That's the Washington, D.C. datacenter.
-
Oh... that isn't good.
-
Not good at all. I wonder what services are offline from this.
-
Wow, that is not good at all. Is Netflix still online? That's all that really matters.
-
Is there confirmation that it's an Amazon building? I can't find anything official about it.

Every search takes you advertising for the Amazon Fire phone.
-
yeah I'm just seeing some people on twitter mention it, but can't find any news articles that confirm who the building belongs to.

Doing some digging and it looks like a lot of companies have space in that data center, including Facebook and Amazon.

That's a huge facility.

Here's confirmation that it is an actual data center:

and it's a three alarm fire, which is pretty substantial. -

Going to be a stressful day at Amazon.
