People around the world were met with silence during emergencies and monumental life events Monday, when Facebook’s apps, including Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger and Oculus, shut down for several hours. Noriel Garcia missed the birth of his newborn daughter. Garcia moved to Texas with a work visa seven months ago, leaving behind his pregnant wife and family. Garcia's goal was to work and save money for his family until his wife's visa application was approved. The married couple planned to use WhatsApp's video chat setting so Garcia could witness his daughter's birth. Unfortunately, Garcia's wife went into labor at 1:10 p.m. EDT, hours into the Facebook outage. Lorec Marie Garcia was born at 4:30 p.m. EDT at just 6 pounds. Her mother gave birth in a hospital room without any family present. #facebookoutage
