A pass in the sense, that they might have used the only possible solution to give these companies a hint. As those companies did not do their share in protecting their network - and their users.
In law there is a principle, that in the case of an emergency you can justify breaking law without punishment.
But, this does not justify torture, but it gives you the option to kill someone that instant this person threatens your or other human life directly.
Also those "bastards" did not impede on basic human rights,
even the right to "commerce" is only slightly restricted now (it will be up and running quickly), no company will be bankrupt.
Nor was personal data published. If they would have done that, the verdict would be different because it would impede on human rights.
Perhaps because they are not those assholes, as you imply?
They could have done much more harm with access to credit card information, like transfering money to many dubious locations.
So they just gave you time to think about your game consumption, and the opportunity to think about the "silent" in silent night.
It's the amount!
people need a bit distraction, as they need sleep, but if you are distracted too much, you will get stressed and unable to focus on the real things.
You think about economy, even economy isn't a "real" problem, because it's a "virtual" ruleset that get's only real because a sufficient amount of people follows these rules.

I think I will be right with at least one or two of the guesses!!
Blast furnaces in WWII are "different" in contrast to today the size was smaller, and in WWII they were constructed from bricks.
Would someone be so kind to mod his post up ?

Interesting thought.
But there is another explanation at hand, India has a bad grid, plagued with outages and "variable" frequency. So big factories have their own power plants. These can fail too, they have also cooling requirements which can be difficult to satisfy during june/july in India. Also during June & July the normal grid is under heavy load from air conditioners.
A grid fault sometimes bears the property of being able to affect such backup units. The swtich over from grid to island operation is critical - anytime some big supplier or consumer "jumps" from the grid or connects to it is critical.
Process control is not instantly reacting, you have delay and rise times, originating from slow physical processes (coal plants), and also a delay through the grid itself, as the grid is due to the long cables a form of energy storage.
If the grid leaves it's sweet spot (in india something around 50Hz +/- 2,5Hz, you will see 37Hz also, your hair dryer will tell
In his generality he simply missed the opportunity to project his view and understanding of the problem onto his audience. Which in contrast to some
This is what I criticised, to say it with a metaphor:
Sometimes a statement is like a fart in the air, it stinks, but when its gone nobody cares.
blast furnace:
You intermix iron ore and coke (not the drug! it's processed coal)
and then you start an exothermic reaction, what you then do is process control, you blow in Oxygene to react carbon to CO2 to a certain percentage and when the steel is ready you poke a hole into the furnace and then molten steel poures out.
This is a reaction that is ongoing.
We are talking here about huge amounts of energy.
A smaller example: ever been test running inside a wind turbine of +1,5MW megawatt class, during nominal power operation ?
Push the red button and you will realize what energy is - rollercoaster ride - and how long the rotor will need to come to a full stop.
Bigger Bigger example, push the red button in a nuclear power plant, yes the control rods will react, but if you don't cool the heat from radiactive decay away, you will get a Fukushima.
I hope you are not a pro nuke, because keeping that in mind (the virtually non 100% hardware red button) you would now have ruled operators of nuclear power plants as stupid that it borders on criminal.
Also there were hardware level overrides and they worked, however if you leave the molten mass inside the furance it will solidify == damaged beyond repair
Which happend there, you have then to rebuild the furnace and beforehand have to cut the wrecked furnace open with a many ton heavy steel clump (happy cutting)
Your numbers are not existent:
compare the numbers in steel production from germany & U.S. to for example china, US ranks No 3 germany ranks No 7, but they do play in the same league. (1)
Also if you take a look at this map(2) you will recognize China, US and Germany on all exported goods do play in the same league.
according to the table from (3) which is based on data (4)
1.) China - 1.898.600
2.) US - 1.480.646
3.) Germany - 1.473.889
Conclusion:
IRONY_ON
Yeah, it's totally transparent to me, germany does really not sell anything!
IRONY_OFF
Germany does export many things, however not much on such low level things like raw steel.
Further conclusion, divide the export numbers and the amount of population, and you will recognize the efficiency gap.
1.) China - 1.366.040.000
2.) USA - 317.238.626
3.) Germany - 80.760.000

Because, like it or not, the "modern" production works or is at least wished to work with small human interaction.
The general wish is that you can do Enterprise Resource Planning(1) (SAP/R3 & Oracle for example). That you can modell your whole value added chain into such a system.
Also these ERPs can do a process simulation with alteration of certain factors, this helps the "gold collars" to make a choice not soley based on their gut feeling.
- yes many times these models are far from reallity and SAP & Oracle is a pain in the ass if you have dumb integrators -
