Scheduled a major prolonged system outage the day before a major deadline? WTF?

Good morning, London. It is 6 am, the fifth of November 2019 and this is the voice of Fate. The new day brings good news and bright prospects from overseas, where negotiations with New China are moving in a positive direction. Last night's scheduled demolition of two deteriorating landmarks went off without a hitch. Spokesman for the Interior ministry said both structures were severely damaged and judged to be a danger to the unsuspecting public. Plans for new landmarks are well underway. - Prothero, _V_for_Vendetta_ (Government commentary spinning unexpected destruction as "planned".)
