Facebook and Instagram crashes

Colombo (News1st): Both Facebook and Instagram were hit by major outages that left them refusing to load for some of their users. A rush of issues was reported yesterday (November 20), as users reported being unable to load the page at all. Multiple users said that heading to Facebook's home page showed only a "service unavailable" message. And Instagram users found that the web service wouldn't load, though the app appeared to be working. It's not clear if the two outages were connected, though they are both parts of Facebook's broad network of companies.
