But there were also a lot of reports published which didn’t cover the real details about what happened and why it could have been prevented.

The RIPE NCC has recently published a case study of the events which gives a detailed inside view of the event using existing tools provided by RIPE.

Among other information, like a detailed time line of the events, the guys at RIPE also provide the following video which illustrates different stages of the outages using BGPlay:
