Ah, I remember a time 30 years ago when I logged accidentally into the PROD database (forgot to add the suffix "1" to the connection ID), thinking it was a Dev instance, and then issued a "truncate table CUSTOMERS"... the reaction came within 75 seconds - and restore from backing took several hours.
That's not bad. I wonder how many companies would not be able to recover from such an event in days / weeks / ever.
That's when you pray that the engineering team didn't fix the replication lag.
