Mod policy is to replace any useful or informative submitter-provided title with the title of the linked page, so the result would have been the same after a few hours.

Well we could see its google's website

It's suggested in the HN guidelines to keep the original title whenever possible and not to editorialize. But I agree, without prior knowledge of yesterday's outtake it's hard to guess what's behind that title.

It's ok to use a subtitle or a representative phrase from the article body, if that better expresses what the submission is about. The main thing we're trying to avoid is people cherry-picking some detail to put in the title or using it to put their own spin on a story.

Since "Preliminary Incident Statement" is basically a subtitle in the OP, I've put that in the title field above.

It’s not really editorializing to add detail of what a vague thing is referring to.

Editorializing would be changing it to something like “Breaking the silence after a catastrophic outage caused by our gross incompetence”.

Hah yes.

Or what was that one we had the other day?

"The death of Google"
