I'm not disagreeing with you, however clearly (if the reddit posts were legitimate) some portion of their OOB/DR procedure depended on a system that's down. From old coworkers who are at FB, their internal DNS and logins are down. It's possible that the username/password/IP of an OOB KVM device is stored in some database that they can't login to. And the fact FB has been down for nearly 4 hours now suggests it's not as simple as plugging in a KVM.

I was referring to the WFH aspect the parent post mentioned. My point was that the admins could get the same level of access as if they were physically on site, assuming the correct setup.
