Only slightly relevant to the topic, there was a capacitor failure in Sydney in 2004 that stopped trains on 6 lines during the morning commute causing 100,000 passengers to be stranded and unable to get to work. Like all complex failures, there was more than one contributing factor, but if the capacitor didn't fail the trains wouldn't have stopped. https://spectrum.ieee.org/riskfactor/computing/it/two-capacitors-and-poor-software-design-cause-of-major-nsw-rail-outage-last-month https://spectrum.ieee.org/riskfactor/computing/it/two-capaci...
