Is it the HN "Hug of Death" ?

I doubt HN could knock over an Amazon site. They're probably geoblocking regions where that service never operated.

Same right now from Spain. I guess it could be a geoblock, although I expected something more from Amazon

No, apparently eu-west-1 went castors up earlier. I wouldn't be surprised if there was something related to this error.

The site came back around eu-west-1 which, while correlation isn't causation, it does look meaningfully in causation's direction and wiggle an eyebrow suggestively.
