An occasional 100 hour work week is tough but do-able. Claiming an entire team got an average of 2 hours of sleep a night for months (meaning that some on the team got even less than that) is outright preposterous. It also reeks of "powering through" machismo and I don't believe it happened quite like that.
If it did happen though, that is a total failure of leadership. Not only were these people being tormented, they were a danger to themselves and others just driving in to the office every day.
Unless the fate of the entire human race relied on the success of their project, everyone involved should have given this ultimatum on the second week of this ordeal: reschedule the project to realistic goals or cancel it entirely, or I quit.
