Could it be because so many people went there to watch the vid that it overwhelmed the servers or something? Idk how those things work, just trying to think of if there's an alternate explanation other than a targeted attack.
Content is hosted on youtube, unfortunately a sustained outage like this means one of thee things you directly are being ddosed or the hosting providers core network is being ddosed - its just too easy to do, or the hosting providers servers and routers are on fire and bearded Linux ladies are out with fire extinguishers. I always hope for option 3 but it never seems to happen.
