'Sorry': Facebook went down, Friday briefly ruined
Many Facebook users were distraught Friday afternoon when they were unable to connect with friends. "Sorry, something went wrong," a message on the downed website read. "We're working on it and we'll get it fixed as soon as we can."
Some were returning home from work, while others took the issue as a sign of impending apocalypse.
