SpaceX didn't move sat out of impending smash doom because it 'didn't see ESA's messages'

Here's what happen, I will bet money on it:

- Initial event goes into some ticketing system tied to a pager

- SpaceX gets the alert, discusses the probabilities, everything is fine, does nothing

- Closes the "ticket"

- Odds get recalculated, things are not ok. New information is sent to the same, now closed, ticket.

- No paging on closed tickets, no one gets notified

Makes too much sense to not be true :)

Funny how nothing is really new.
