definitive quotes like that. Maybe I missed them but, in the articles revisited in the current discussion I have not seen any along those lines even from ECU sites and newspapers on that beat. There were clear preferences expressed both by ECU to not wait and VT to allow one more day but, no definitive statement that they were not coming until word leaked on social media. I suspect the reasons and choice of words have everything to do with the rights, responsibilities and obligations explicitly defined in the contract. Various arguments have been made here regarding force majeure, weather overriding provisions, etc. and they are all things that could be litigated if either party was inclined to take their position in court. There could be any number of valid reasons either one or both have not chosen that path.
