While I defer to your insider knowledge, I do have some small amount of insight into RE, having carried out academic research on the business within the last 18 months.
My main point was that the incident would not, as was seemingly being suggested by some posters, in and of itself, lead directly to the closure to the operation, or damage either the RE or EI brands. If, however, the subsequent investigation were to highlight operational or maintenance shortcomings within the organisation, then that would be a different situation.
