I didn't say it was the wrong language to use. How many realtime oriented languages have there been for such systems? I'm saying there aren't many developers with the language skills. Even if it's similar to ALGOL, not many will leave university degrees with ALGOL programming skills.
I think the problem they have is that they haven't retained the developers because it just worked. And then some changes were needed and it went wrong. Probably because they didn't test the changes properly.
