By analogy, it was like a company having a major project worth hundreds of millions go wrong, and everyone getting dragged out of bed in the middle of the night.
At a time like that, the first thing to do was not worry about where you were. Whatever skills you had that could solve the problem, you brought them out and solved it first. Only afterward did you investigate who was responsible.
