Does anyone have any thoughts besides "bad engineering" on what could've gone wrong? It seems like taking on a new endeavor like streaming an event that would possibly draw many hundreds of millions of viewers doesn't make sense. Is there any obvious way that this would just work, or is there obviously a huge mistake deeply rooted in the whole thing. Also, are there any educated guesses on some fine details in the codebase and patterns that could result in this?
