[lir-wg] Major power outage in Amsterdam

Dear Colleagues,

Due to some explosion/fire in a power sub-system a large part of 
Amsterdam lost power last night around 21:30 UTC, 7 November. This 
influenced the AMS-IX sites at SARA and NIKHEF.

This also caused an outage for some of our external services, mainly 
ns.ripe.net and whois.ripe.net.

We apologise for the inconvenience this might have caused.

Regards,

Andrei Robachevsky
