I don't agree how OP or the article writes "thanks to poor internal comms", but I think it's worth to watch the interview and how the communication went. The situation itself was scarier than just getting flooded with water. They were doing a job where you can't just run away. They were doing space walk and stuff, and any mishaps will get him yeeted out into the void. And they sound calm and collected while trying not to die.

The very first sentence of the article:

> NASA admitted today that Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano nearly drowned during his July 16 spacewalk last year because information about a previous water leak didn't make its way up the chain of command.

Sorry I should have had put myself clear, I think it could have written in a less "blame culture"-y way, because "thanks to..." phrase gave me such semantics. Not saying the poor internal comms is not true, it's a valid issue indeed!
