- topkai22 8y agoTherac-25 is brought up I like to point out that the Therac-25, which killed 3 people), was released the same year as the Hyatt bridge disaster (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt_Regency_walkway_collapse https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt_Regency_walkway_collap...) which killed 114. We really need a new reference case of the potential harm caused by software bugs. Perhaps the recent lion air crash will take that grim mantle.
