They won't go under but neither will the people who orchestrated their systems over the last 20 years be fairly assessed. I first read the following over 25 years, this copy is from Wikipedia and it is still relevant today. Irrespective of whether the failrue was physical (power) or logical.

The six phases of a big project is a cynical take on the outcome of large projects, with an unspoken assumption about their seemingly inherent tendency towards chaos. The list is reprinted in slightly different variations in any number of project management books as a cautionary tale.

One such example gives the phases as:
  • Enthusiasm,
  • Disillusionment,
  • Panic and hysteria,
  • Hunt for the guilty,
  • Punishment of the innocent, and
  • Reward for the uninvolved.
