This is one of the infamous incidents where software failure caused harm on humans. I am kind of fascinated about such incidents (since I learn so much by reading about them), are there any other examples of such incidents that you guys know of? It doesn't have to result in harming human, but any software failure related incident which resulted in big consequences.
One another example that comes to my mind is the Toyota "unintended acceleration" incident. Or the "Mars Climate Orbiter" incident.
