UPDATE: Back Online [WAS: Amazon.com currently down]

UPDATE (3:49pm ET): as of this check, it looks like the Amazon website is back to normal…

As of the time of writing (2:29pm ET on 3/10/16) the Amazon website is down with error messages appearing. I don’t know if this is a regional or wider issue. Messages of this kind (like the one below appear) even if you try to go an individual product page or even Help pages.
