This weekend our uninterruptible power supply became interruptible and we lost 
all circuits. While I was doing initial debugging of the problem while I waited 
on site power verification, I noticed that there was still paths being shown in 
rviews for the circuit that were down. This was over an hour after we went hard 
down and it took hours before we were back up.

I worked with our providers last night to verify there weren't any hanging 
static routes, etc... We shut the upstream circuit down and watched the 
convergence and saw that eventually all the paths disappeared. Given what we 
saw on Saturday, what would cause route-views to cache the paths that long?  
Some looking glass sites only show what they are peered with or at most what 
their peers are peered with, that's why I've always used route-views.

What looking glass sites other than route-views would people recommend?
