Titanic Syndrome. Everything's going under, but the people on the upper decks are still enjoying their late-night cigars while the boiler crew is drowning. It's an interesting phenomenon (and, I'm sure, has a better name than the one I just made up).

I wanna say, "There we go," but this is slightly different. Not so much that one failure unexpectedly causes total collapse down the line, more so that a catastrophic failure of important components (which obviously are going to cause a system collapse to anyone who knows what happened) happens in a system so large that other portions of that doomed system are not even aware.
