I can only think of maybe one time when it has happened before, and that was around 11th September 2001 when one american barrowdowner went missing. I think. But then, it could just be that they are otherwise disposed to use their time now - you can't really seperate just going AWOL from a more permanent departure. But sure, I would say it would matter.

My dad travels on the tube at least twice a day to get to work, it was a little nerve-racking to say the least, as the mobile phone networks were down all this morning - he was travelling from King's Cross.
But it's ok...
