Armadillo Crashes MoD Network

Well, it wasn't a real Armadillo, only a video.

A popular video spoof caused Ministry of Defense computers to crash, including those at Britain's secret strike command headquarters in Buckinghamshire.

Computer screens controlling British air defenses and warplanes around the world are reported to have gone blank for five hours.

"We couldn't believe it when the screens went blank," said one RAF officer at the MoD in Whitehall. "After several hours of staring at nothing we went to the pub and then went home early. But it would have been extremely serious if some big operation had been on the go."
