If they know there's a four day runway in a worst case scenario then someone should be scheduled to be in the lab at least for day four to check in the morning and evening. If the contents are that valuable then someone should be there. Just my operations experience backed opinion. Also curious if anything was documented so at least the data is preserved. So many ops questions for a prestigious facility.
Should, yes.
We lost a summer-long experiment back in the uni. Everyone knew someone should come in at least one time in an evening to check whether the mission-critical timer actually works. But no-one bothered to do it. Was a lot of head scratching before the heads of the experiment figured out why the data was all out of whack.
