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.
