Unlike DNSViz, Verisign's DNSSEC Debugger doesn't archive results, so here's a screenshot of my web browser's output from June 29, 2016:

June 29, 2016 mm DNSSEC outage

OpenDNS & Google Public DNS

OpenDNS does not support DNSSEC, instead supporting DNSCurve. Google Public DNS currently supports only DNSSEC, and thus, Google's users saw SERVFAIL for queries under .mm during this outage.

$ dig google.com.mm. @resolver1.opendns.com.

; <<>> DiG 9.4.2-P2 <<>> google.com.mm. @resolver1.opendns.com.
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:

google.com.mm. 300 IN A 216.58.192.196

With Google Public DNS, because of DNSSEC, queries fail:

$ dig +dnssec google.com.mm. @8.8.8.8

; <<>> DiG 9.4.2-P2 <<>> +dnssec google.com.mm. @8.8.8.8
