Twitter crashed so hard on June 21 that the site didn't even display the famous "Fail Whale." Instead, it simply timed out.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Cue the collective Internet freakout! Twitter went down for more than an hour on Thursday afternoon, depriving users of a place to complain that Twitter is down.

The Twitter outage began at 11:59 a.m. ET, according to Twitter's page on tracking site Pingdom. Service returned intermittently around 1 p.m., but less than an hour later, Twitter crashed again.
"Engineers are currently working to resolve the issue," a Twitter spokeswoman told CNNMoney. She declined to comment on a reason for the outage.

Twitter updated its status blog at 1:42 saying "the issue has been resolved and all services are currently operational" -- but at 2:16, another update from Twitter backtracked and said "the issue is on-going."

crash or hacked

if it just crashed it's not a big deal form a security aspect
but a disaster from IT + network POV
