Banks are down so petrol stations and supermarkets are basically closed. People can't check in to airline flights, various government services including emergency telephone and police are down. Shows how vulnerable these systems are if there's just one failure point taking all those down.

It's pretty bad when the main ABC 7pm News Bulletin pretty much had them reading from their iPads couldn't use their normal studio background screens and didn't even give us the weather forecast!
