This isn't a case of someone pushing it close, it sounds like someone who did leave the lounge early to give themselves a buffer, but not expecting something drastic to happen. Yeah I leave early to get to the airport in case there is traffic, but I don't plan on a 3 hour traffic delay because of a catastrophic accident closing the highway (this has happened to me, ughhhh, entire highway closed, nowhere to go)
There is a big difference between closing the door at T-5 and T-20. I would have been ok if they closed it at T-5 and I had arrived at T-1.
Traffic, tire, longer security lines are expected and planned for, broken Skylink is not, so this is still more of a confluence of bad luck. Perhaps next time the B club would've been slightly safer, but it's not normal to plan for skylink to break, so still more bad luck than anything else.
