    Google destroys a web page

    Sounds more like user error and/or bad configuration than an issue with Google or Google hacking someones site.

          Google owns the internet already. I don't see why they would need to hack anything.

          Google wouldn't do that, it's probably just some user error or people just trying to get attenion.

            The first one is a common problem with indexing links. The second is either a hoax or a goof-up at Google. :)
