T+0 sec. All datacenters die. Near-total global comms blackout instantly, including a large chunk of landlines and cellular T+1 min. Payments and exchanges frozen. Lots of 911 routing and dispatch are datacenter-hosted: people can’t call for help. T+15 min. ATC sees planes but loses flight planning and weather. Everything grounded, airborne traffic is voice and paper. An incident somewhere is likely. T+1 hr. Grid operators fly blind without datacenter hosted energy management. Large regional blackouts within hours. Many pipelines get shut down preemptively. T+2-4 hrs. Panic: no comms plus no payments is scary. Runs on stores and fuel by mid-afternoon. Police can’t dispatch or communicate beyond radio. T+4-8 hrs. Hospitals in genuine crisis: no labs, records, pharmacy, transfers, staff management. Complex care stops. Industrial accidents accumulate as many plants have to attempt manual shutdowns. T+8-16 hrs. Blackouts plus no police plus no comms means looting and violence at scale (1977 New York). T+16-24 hrs. Death toll rises globally: unanswered cardiac arrests, fires, accidents, hospital and industrial failures… Several regions in the dark, without water, and lawless overnight. Even if you turn everything back on after this it will be weeks before you can get the world running somewhat smoothly again. Our world runs on datacenters, and before the recent anti AI hysteria most people were fine with that
