| 11 | The Gizmodo article that Guardian article lauds irritated the hell out |
| 12 | of me. Certainly it was unlikely for the global Internet to collapse. |
| 13 | However, from the details I've read, there was a risk of one or two IXs |
| 14 | failing, and that would have *serious* regional effects. |

| 16 | Whether a chunk of Europe dropping offline qualifies as "breaking the |
| 17 | Internet" is an interesting question. The answer probably depends on |
| 18 | whether or not you're on that continent... |
