would have caused quite a headache.
its the main message processor machine for that company. around 4 messages per second are sent in and out to customs. 5mins downtime would cause a backlog of shit. Cant clear the message queues down either as it would mean resending entries.
sounds like nothing but would cause lots of errors all over the place
