You may be right. I just wanted to add that there are probably people stranded in Dubai right now because they booked a Berlin–Sydney flight with a stopover six months ago. Sometimes you simply can’t predict these things.
Yes, staying informed can help in some cases. But there are also many situations where it wouldn’t have made a difference. The amount of noise you have to sift through to “stay updated” is huge. At some point, it becomes a trade-off: consume a constant stream of news to maybe avoid a rare edge case — or tune it out and accept that very occasionally you might get unlucky.
