https://twitter.com/brewster_kahle https://twitter.com/footage and https://twitter.com/internetarchive have all tweeted about it. There was a fire in a side building, a scanning center. The SFFD has blocked off the area for now. The site seems to have been down for a while but most of it is back up now. Personally, I still can't use the Wayback Machine. No word yet on why the fire affected the website. Here's a picture of what's left of the building: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BYZUtBdCUAAW6ey.jpg:large
