we do annual unannounced firedrills and now one dies as a consequence.

That's because the unannounced firedrills don't involve setting the building on fire. A "drill" equivalent would be if we all pretended the internet is down sometimes, and in some cases that still might be impossible to do without negative consequences.
Fire drills do involve denying access, though. We wouldn't need to bomb the datacenters but we would need to make them inaccessible.
