Tinejdad, Morocco - The world's largest online social network Facebook was down Friday morning for some users in a number of countries for about 30 minutes.
"Earlier this morning, some people had trouble accessing Facebook for a short time. We quickly investigated and have fully restored service for everyone. We're sorry for the inconvenience," Facebook said in an emailed statement.
It is normal for any website to temporarily go down, but calling 911 for such technical problem is indeed very funny.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff sergeant Burton Brink confirmed in a tweet that they received several calls from dissatisfied users complaining about the crash of Facebook.
Yes we got calls #facebookdown That is why I sent out my previous msg to prevent them. Unk number received on 911 or reg number TY #LASD

The Sheriff used Twitter to announce that the problems that users may encounter using Facebook are not within the range of their services.
#Facebook is not a Law Enforcement issue, please don't call us about it being down, we don't know when FB will be back up!

The hashtag #NowFacebookDown quickly became Twitter's top trending topic worldwide.
Facebook was fully restored on Friday immediately after the crash.
