It's unlikely that the database had no foreign keys related to users table. And if so DBMS should have prevented deleting all users from the table.

Perhaps the Database Designer also failed his job. As well as the guys who cancelled backups and set up dev environment.

Well, the foreign key could have been set up to cascade deletes, in which case they would have been extra-screwed.
