Google Docs Stumbles, Goes Down

Yep, Google Docs is down, and has been for at least the last thirty minutes. I’ve been trying to access the site in Chrome and am met with a white screen and an endless ‘waiting’ message in the status bar (a refresh just got me a 404 page, which I suppose is an improvement). Google’s status site indicates that a “Service disruption” is affecting Google Docs List, Google Docs, and Google Drawing.
