New Delhi: Social networking site Facebook on Friday suffered disruption in services, making the site unavailable to millions of users in some areas world over. The visitors were greeted with the message that read "Sorry, something went wrong. We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can." It was not immediately clear how widespread the disruption was. Facebook has 1.32 billion monthly users.
This is the second time that the website went down in this quarter. The reason behind this crash is still not clear. Earlier this year Facebook crashed for the first time on June 19. People started reporting the outage on Friday, but Facebook was back after 35 minutes.
The whole incident became of butt of joke on Twitter as some users started calling police for help in some areas.
An officer from Los Angeles County took to Twitter on Friday when Facebook users called for help to report that the social media website was down.
Sgt. Burton Brink, the public information officer in La Crescenta, CA, posted a Tweet reminding people about the reasons for calling them for help.
"#Facebook is not a Law Enforcement issue, please don't call us about it being down, we don't know when FB will be back up!" he wrote.
