Twitter was ablaze with complaints late Wednesday about Google and YouTube having crashed.

Numerous Twitter users began posting messages around 9:15 p.m. PT, saying the search engine and video-streaming platform were experiencing outages. According to the tweets, users were without the two sites for close to five minutes before service returned.
