I'm surprised they haven't tried to blame a cyberattack yet.
That said, I feel like these sorts of catastrophic ultra-fragile McKinsey-consulted-to-death failures we keep seeing in various industries are basically a giant signal to any adversaries that say "Hi! Check out how easy it would be to grind this entire industry to a halt!"
Resiliency is literally the opposite of efficiency. These systems need to have slack, aka inefficiency built into them. Unfortunately the business culture has moved towards ultra fragile, ultra efficient thinking.
