Havent seen a thread on this one so thought i'd start one.
Ripe tested a new attribute that crashed the internet, is that true?
If it in fact "crashed the internet", as opposed to "gave a few buggy routers
here and there indigestion", you wouldn't be posting to NANOG looking for
confirmation. :)

Not whole internet, but a part. And the "few buggy routers here and
there" were mostly Cisco CRS-1's which didn't understand the new
attribute and sent a malformed message to all peers, causing them to
close the BGP session.
I think most of the impact was limited to Europe, especially Amsterdam area.
