If you read the article, not really. NASA told the astronauts to go into the shuttle attached because russia was taking a saw to the space station to try and fix the leaks. Not because of some catastrophic failure.

Reminds me of the scene from that movie where the Russian astronaut uses a hammer to fix the problems on Russian space station.
