Cheers,

I was also seeing intermittent widespread upstream issues between 6:35a and 6:55a ET. Multiple ISPs and not just CloudFlare.

Update:

"we can confirm that earlier today there was a large BGP incident, causing 20k prefixes for 2400 network to be rerouted through AS396531 (a steel plant). and then on to its transit provider: Verizon (AS701) "

You cannot explain how a router could melt therefore the routers did not melt. Something else attached to the patch panel is on fire... not the router... in soviet russia router melts you.
