OK Google, why was your web traffic hijacked and routed through China, Russia today?

Long on indignation, shortish on facts

The fine article does not - as far as I could see - mention a couple of rather important facts.

1. Were users actually prevented from connecting to Google, etc.? Or did they manage to connect and use the sites normally - just by a circuitous route?

2. The article speaks of "theft" and suggests that packets were "stolen". Again, that implies that the packets were never delivered to the intended destinations. True or false?
