@Twitter outages used to have a graphic called the "Fail Whale"
When Twitter experiences an outage, users once saw the "fail whale" error message image created by Yiying Lu,[186] illustrating eight orange birds using a net to hoist a whale from the ocean captioned "Too many tweets! Please wait a moment and try again.".[187] In a November 2013 WIRED interview Chris Fry, VP of Engineering at that time, noted that the company had taken the "fail whale" out of production as the platform was now more stable. @Curionic
