I'd agree it would be nice to have a sure fire contingency plan to keep the whole operation running on schedule no matter what the problem...but how do you keep the whole operation running without a glitch if say there is e.g. another Buncefield?
You can never guarantee to keep the operation going, it's how you handle things when the music stops that then counts...and where I would agree with you was that on Saturday one had the impression there was of a lack of visible leadership and a breakdown in comms...
