Wow, that's an eye opener. A bunch of contractors are swapping
processor cards, rebooting computers, power-cycling whole racks of
gear, and calling on their cell phones for backup. You'd think that
Yahoo or google.com had come up with a 404 or the like. Except:

The Predator B is approximately 36 feet in length with
a wingspan of 66 feet. The maximum gross weight is
10,000 pounds...

...The aircraft total fuel capacity was 3,920 pounds...

When eBay goes down, it doesn't land in folks' back yards. When it's
up, it doesn't consume vast blocks of airspace. And when you pull the
plug it definitely sinks at less than 1 fps.
