Oh, the wire was blue?
In all seriousness, listing just the triggering event in the headline isn't that far out of line. Like the Titanic hit an iceburg, but it was also traveling faster than it should in spite of iceberg warnings, and it did so overloaded and without adequate lifeboats, and it turns out there were design flaws in the hull. But the iceberg still gets first billing.
I think it reads as too cute by a half. The wire was just the one of dozens of problems that happened last. It's natural to attribute cause in that way, but it's not really helpful in communicating the purpose of these investigations.
If this represents a change in style and/or substance of these kinds of press releases, my hunch would be that the position was previously hired for technical writers but was most recently filled by PR.
