I seem to remember seeing someone saying on Usenet last night that there's a big 'pipe' down somewhere that will be affecting quite a bit of routing. I couldn't get to www.richersounds.com last night (still can't) and I also can't get to www.apache.org.

Wonder if it's this business over at Hemel Hempstead causing problems?

Not sure about why Apache is unavailable (unless UK traffic somehow routes to a transparent UK-based mirror), but the explosion took out Northgate Information Solutions, who host several high-profile customers, including Richer. The Register talks about it:

...and the BBC has a take too:

The irony is that Northgate's backup and service-continuity solution was, er, apparently in the same building...

It's crazy but I have seen this so many times.
My other favourites are backup tapes kept in a neat little box next to the server and of course the obligatory "but we don't need a backup we have RAID"

Richer Sounds were hosted there, yes. I'd expect apache to have more than one host, surely?
