I remember my computer science professor talking about this, how critical safety can be in software. Another example he gave was the refueling machine at a nuclear power plant, it had fell off the tracks and broke the pipe that goes through the reactor due to a software bug. Also he mentioned the software in his pacemaker. Engineers in other fields need to sign off on designs, and can be held liable if something goes wrong. Software hasn't caught up to that yet.
