push out the PR and remember that journalists are not technical people.
Had there been multiple cuts in multiple different locations I'd be more sympathetic. Shetland being a recent example [0], where one fibre was cut, then the other one in a completely different direction was also cut.
Assuming they had 2 cables and both are broken, whether something as critical as the entire LH booking system deserves more resilience than just 2 geographically diverse cables, I'm not sure -- ultimately it's what's the cost, what's the damage, and what's the likelihood of it happening.
