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.

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!
