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.

Get the The Illinois Incidentmug. On May 24, 2012, a group of 3 teenagers went to the San Diego Zoo at 3:13 pm. The 3 young boys went to see the monkey exhibit and dared each other to do something extravagant than neither of them would do. 2 of the boys names Marcus and Dillan threw bits of hot dog bread at the monkeys, encouraging harassment of the apes. the final teenager named Carter, bought laxatives from the CVS Pharmacy before entering the Zoo for his mother. Carter thought it was a good idea to throw the laxatives at the monkeys because it would out-do Dillan and Marcus's idea. The monkey consuming the Laxatives in about 20 minutes had major diarrhea and the Zookeepers had to inform everybody to leave the exhibit. Before the residents could leave, the war began. The apes threw their fecal matter at the residents and brought chocolate rain amongst the people. The Zookeepers soon found out who caused this and banned the 3 boys involved in the mess. The reason most don't know about this is because it wasn't as important as say, somebody jumping into an exhibit, so it's all swept under the rug.
