Alexandria Incident

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.
another example classification: the death of Flipnote Hatena was an A type Alexandria Incident.

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?

The Shibuya Incident

When your mom starts cleaning your room and in the midst of terror and panic, you must distract her from finding your vast collection of sexual manga.
"Hey Tom, why'd you show up to school today with a black eye?"

"I failed The Shibuya Incident and my mom got her hands on some greasy stuff"

Broken Arrow Incident

An incident where someone reveals their Power Level, akin to that of the non-slang Broken Arrow Incidents wherein the US Military outright lost nuclear arms.

Example 2
