A lot of Exception Handling had already been quite busy, or paying attention to other things, at this exact particular moment, for reasons which will become clear.

Some people at Air Traffic Control, if in on this loop, must have already guessed what happened--or at least, massively updated probabilities based on a guess that two strange events are relevant to each other at all.

Exception Handling makes a blind guess, a snap decision, and orders Air Traffic Control that everyone who knows about a Flight 43 anomaly is to stay inside the same room and not communicate outside of it, except with Flight 43 itself or Exception Handling, for the next ten minutes.

Those ten minutes are putting safety margin along how long it should take to somehow verify that blind guess, bring the C-level suite and Chief Executive of Civilization up to speed...
