I was considered “brave” and “crazy” for offering to work that shift. People were losing their minds. It was the first time I realized how gullible the general public was. I was the calm in the storm. I reminded them that air was not controlled by a computer and we would survive. It would be like “camping nursing.” Midnight -NOTHING- and people felt stupid. I’m ready for that feeling again. It was priceless.

Interesting. I've never heard Metal Gear Solid 2. Had to look it up.
FWIW, one time on a business trip I ran into a high flying exec (she told me so herself) working in the CC industry in the late '90s "fixing" the problem. She insisted it was a real problem, but I was skeptical (or curious), and asked a bunch of questions (from an inquiring minds want to know perspective). She knew what she was talking about. But there was something - I just wasn't 100% convinced it was as bad as she said. I suspected that the banking industry problem was only a fraction of what was advertised - a lot of people, and the computer industry, was making "bank" on the problem, Clinton was in the WH, and I was convinced the whole thing was a major scam.
