In terms of pure risk management this looks incredibly pathetic. First, to not anticipate the problems with water and their equipment is basically amateur hour. That's a pretty basic screw-up there! Next you have to wonder why this is a choke-point in the system? Don't they have any duplication whatsoever? I don't know about how this stuff works (can clearly there are people who are more qualified to comment on that here), but its a basic, basic premise of risk management. Sort of like having executives fly on separate planes, or having an offsite back-up. We're not talking about some amazingly high level concept here.
