This is pretty much exactly my thought as well.
Based on the timing of initial tweets and blog posts on this fiasco, I'm pretty sure I was in the first 10%, if not first 1%, of people who experienced this. And I was in a plane at 36,000 feet trying to work on a cross country (U.S.) flight when suddenly about 130 tabs in 7 windows disappeared. Really, REALLY bad. Panic, frustration, confusion...
I was more than 50% sure that all was not lost forever, that it was some "glitch" (Extensions all showed the same bloody red status), but I was tweaked. I work in security (embedded systems, not computers/IT) so I have a very good understanding of certificates, TLS, PKI, etc. There are many ways things can get out of whack if the people in charge screw up.
Regardless, this is embarrassing, dare I say shameful (pretty much almost up there with "Ooooppsss... we just lost our domain - it expired and no one thought to renew it)
Come on, guys, get it together. Have a procedure, document it, practice it, stay in front of it.
