I'd suggest the AS 7007 event is perhaps the most notorious and
likely to top many lists including mine.

AS7007 is how I found NANOG.  We (Digital Island; first job out
of college) were in 10-20 countries around the planet at the time. 
All of them went down while we were in cisco training.  I kept
interrupting the class and telling my manager "everything's down! 
We need to stop the training and get on it!"  We didn't because I
was new and no one believed that much could go down all at once.
They assumed it was a monitoring glitch. So, the training
continued for a while until very senior engineers got involved. 
One of the senior guys said something to the effect of "yeah, it's
all over NANOG."  I said what is NANOG?  I signed up for the list
and many of you have had to listen to me ever since... ;)
