After one candidate had successfully crossed the bridge, SNC stalled, causing her team to lose momentum and asked if anyone had any ideas. She then directed her team member to place the barrel in the contaminated zone, rendering it useless for 60 seconds.

There was no clear transition between the end of the brief and the start of the execution.…
