Just take a look at MPL to see where this could go in the short-term, though of course they have recovered now. Naturally, it's unlikely that any incident at VNT will affect as many people, or make the nightly news like MPL was for days on end, but it pays to be aware...

Discl: I have no holding in VNT, but happen to run a company that supplies one of their subsidiaries, so I took note when I saw their name in the press.
