I think the incident you are referencing is the Colonial Pipeline attack. While 72 hours seems like a long time to notify the public for a piece of critical infrastructure...I believe it is probably necessary to keep those things a little more hush, because you don't want to stir panic that results in more damage. If you recall all over the east coast, every gas station was bled dry of every drop of gas in a matter of hours. If you weren't lucky enough to step away from your responsibilities that morning the news broke and didn't have that much gas left in the tank, then you were SOL until the fuel fleet was able to restock the local distribution of stations...but the fuel fleet's supply chain from the pipeline was never actually impacted because things recovered before reserves ran out.
