How I ended up purchasing & owning Google.com via Google Domains

Sanjay Ved:

A strange thing happened at 1:20 AM Eastern Time on Tuesday, September 29. I was learning more about the Google Domains interface, and typed google.com and clicked search domains. To my surprise, Google.com was showing as available!

He actually ended up owning one of the most valuable domains in the world, albeit for a brief, shining moment. Fascinating story.
