This is why i'm not storing my bitcoin anymore on blockchain.info
It is too risk to storing your bitcoin out there ,this is not the first the site is down, recently months the site was down due to DNS attack, there were many cases happened before.
So for security purpose you might import your wallet or maybe using another wallet. I personally will use it but only for storing little amount, i'm just too worried what if the site is offline forever.
It's not only attacks coming from external sources that cause blockchain.info to be inaccessible.

It's somewhat of a normal thing to see them display wrong information, not fix bugs that have been there for a very long time, their servers not being able to handle increased traffic, and the list goes on.

Main reason for people to keep using them is their name and the fact that they offer a very attractive user interface. Other than that, it's a shame they don't offer people a better online wallet experience.

At this point there are various options people can choose from as blockchain.info is not the only trustworthy web wallet service anymore. There are great alternatives nowadays.

That thing happens to web wallets and mostly the reason why you should avoid using them because it will be such an incovinient to not be able to access your coin when you need to. Better use a desktop wallet or a wallet where you can fully backup your privatekey ad import it to a different walle provider so in that way you ca still access it.
But blockchain.info web wallet also offers importing/exporting bitcoin addresses. They also give you private key of imported addresses so that it can be used with other wallets when they goes down. But i think this feature is not available with your wallet addresses.

Don't worry these minor service outages are happening from time to time. Blockchain is never out for more than a couple minutes.
At least I never experienced longer problems. But again, word of advice for everyone using Blockchain.info as your main wallet:
Don't use this (or any online wallet) as your primary wallet, where you keep majority of your coins. Use it as your auxiliary wallet for fast payments and quick access.

It looks pretty good to me as well and maybe I'm kind of late to see this post. Don't worry when blockchain is on that state.

I did experience to see that problem also probably when they are upgrading, maybe they are doing something again.

And maybe it's also time for you to store your coins on desktop wallet.

It is already up and running, i have also seen that screen few times before but few refresh will do the trick. You can access them almost always but if you don't like to get stucked when they are down in future, make complete backup of your wallet. I will also suggest you to save private key of each and every bitcoin address you have in the wallet in some secure place

Just wait.  It should be up again after some time.
Also if you don't want to keep relying on the site to be up whenever you need to use your bitcoins, you should switch to a desktop wallet.

I don't think so its down its working for me here, If you want the screenshot I can post it.
If you are having the issue I guess it will be resolved soon maybe they are under a heavy load.
Or maybe try refreshing your internet modem/router.
