2 explanations I can think of: - This is a backend failure, where all those servers that put together your calendar data and serve it to you as a webpage all use the same database/backend, which is having some sort of error. - The code that runs on those servers has a bug. They are all at or near the same version, so they all fail. Manual intervention needed to diagnose and fix the bug.
