While I agree redundancy in such a system is surely a good thing I really don't see why the CEO should be automatically fired as a result of this event?
A person in that position would not normally be expected to know the full down 'n dirty technical minutiae of their system, rather they would rely upon advice they receive from company and external experts.
If it transpired they knew about weaknesses in the system, were advised to address these but did nothing,
then perhaps they should consider moving on. Otherwise, assuming they're an effective CEO, why not allow them the opportunity to sort the issue out?
To put it another way; should a pilot be automatically 'fired' because an engineer did something that broke their 'plane?
FP.
