I hate to break your bubble but ATM networks are not all that redundant.

That is absolutely true. If a Bank America ATM goes down it does not affect any other bank or ATM. If you are trying to access a different bank from BofA you will just not connect. The ATM being down might indicate the particular bank local ATM network is having trouble but that does not necessarily say the same bank in another area would be having trouble. A good analogy is the telephone system in a local business.

I heard that on the street so Real World not meeting doesn’t surprise me.

OTOH I have worked in some shops where they have full, 5 minute to switch over to offsite, redundancy — for freaking ERP systems that could be offline for hours with no interruptions to operations.

Amazing United didn’t have that level of investment.
