Alexandria Incidents are massive losses of data that intentionally or unintentionally take down part or the whole of a service's data at once.
Geocities died intentionally, and the loss was the death of the whole service, and thus is considered an A type Alexandria Incident.
The Myspace Data Loss Incident was unintentional, and was the loss of only a portion of the service, and thus is considered a B type Alexandria Incident.
The Tumblr porn ban was intentional, and was a loss of only a portion of the service, and is thus a C type
The Theoretical D type, where the data loss was unintentional and resulted in service wide data loss happens usually to small scale services, or large services in their early days, I do not know of many good examples of this if any
The name, Alexandria Incident, comes from the burning of the library of Alexandria.

People who are the subject of viral videos that commit acts of bigotry, racism, or intolerance in public settings. They are generally middle aged white women.
Is it just me, or are most of these incident people on YouTube middle aged white women? Have we come up with a cute nickname for this one yet?
