I was hoping for more of an exploration of how to deal with the worst case, than admittedly arbitrary set of "worst case scenarios". At the end, there's a whole of two paragraphs how you should use multiple regions, use CloudFormation/TerraForm and store the data in S3. Surely there is more to it, and I'd hope Tim would focus on that side of the story more? Of course, the analysis is fine in its own light if you are trying to establish the risk of us-east-1 really going down — though I'd like to read such an analysis from someone willing to insure your operations against such a failure — but an analysis covering more of the survival phase would equally apply to other AWS regions and other cloud providers.
