That would’ve been the case in early times. Now everything is computer controlled. So redundancy should be built into the system. For example Japanese bullet trains run in one of the highest earthquake prone regions in the whole world. And they get hit by earthquake frequently. Yet the bullet train delays are messured in seconds! Not minutes, not hours, literally seconds. Not to mention that after more than 50 years of service that haven’t been a single passenger fatality. Zero.

Same goes for roads as well. Weren’t there major congestion when that ship hit the US bridge?

You forgot to mention that you do this each day every day. Not a once a year or once a quarter thing.
