It Is the Apocalypse: Twitter Reacts as FB and Instagram Crashes

“Let’s check on Twitter if Facebook is really down?”

Facebook users faced an apocalyptic situation as the social networking website stopped working on Saturday evening.

The site says that it is down for maintenance and will be back soon. But most people lost their cool and took to Twitter to express how distressed and ‘let-down’ they are by Facebook. However, Facebook wasn’t the only social media website that crashed, people also faced trouble logging on to Instagram.

Take a look at some of the reactions:
