Reportage - 23:45
UK Online Crime Map Crashes After Getting 18 Million Hits an Hour: "A British website showing block-by-block crime statistics crashed within a few hours of going online today after public interest overwhelmed servers.

The site, police.uk, crashed after receiving as many as 300,000 hits a minute, or 18 million an hour, The Press Association reported.

'Most popular gov website ever?' the British Home Office wrote on Twitter. 'Demand for new #crime maps at around 300k a minute, equivalent to 18m hits an hr. Working hard to make sure everyone can access.'

The site is intended to allow people to gauge levels of crime and police activity in neighborhoods in England and Wales. It breaks down crime into six categories: burglary, robbery, vehicle crime, violence, other crime and anti-social behavior, BBC News said."
