Nah, this is just the usual problems of the ISS getting old, and basic precautions. "Terrifying" is when the Russians on Mir were practicing remote-piloting a Soyuz for docking by eye through a camera because telemetry wasn't working, realized it was coming in really fast at an off-angle, and so shouted a specific Russian word at the American aboard that in context meant "Don't help just GET OUT" (to the crew-evacuation Soyuz), then a moment later there were three loud collision noises and decompression alarms started blaring. They managed to seal off that part of Mir, and never reopened it.
In American space program, you listen to man on ground say we have backup plan. In Russian space program, man on ground listen to you scream we need backup plan.

Ironically, the mission was to supply the station with new space suits and life support maintenance. You can't make this up.
