[outages] Boston Marathon explosions/outages

[Jay Ashworth]

It's being further reported now that even SMS traffic in/out of Metro
Boston is being delayed and queued up.  Someone on Twitter just reported
having received 30 minutes worth of messages in a batch.

No other reported outages so far.

Cheers,
