Nothing you describe is normal, healthy, worthy of emulation, or good.
I've worked in large cross-company teams on extremely complex products with millions of LOC and thirty-year-old obsolete code handling millions of US$s of bank transactions. I've been in situations where people made mistakes, systems went down, and transactions were lost. I've been in incredibly stressful situations.
Do you know what would have made none of these situations better? Anger.
