InstagramInstagram was down today and the common protocol for when a popular social media site crashes is complete and utter panic.
But it was different this time around! People were calm, collected and they just patiently waited for it to get back up and running.
Just kidding, people panicked. And complained. Mostly though, they demanded answers because "Why Is Instagram" was a top trending topic on Twitter.
Some people asked "why is Instagram down?" while others had different questions for the app:
