>>"ultimately, something prevented a catastrophic outcome"
The most likely "something" was Pure Dumb Luck, just a random combination of factors that happened to work out favorably. Of course, on the chance that there was some particular factor/event/action that could be replicated and reliably prevent the disaster, then sure, we should have a look.
I'd definitely make a good survey for that, but the focus really needs to be further back in the chain of events to find out what thing(s) failed.
And of course to be in any way relaxed about this because they weren't scraping up parts from 300+ bodies this time is folly.
