Yesterday I received a link to this article in my email:

The top 10 IT disasters of all time

Too bad the author decided to omit those IT “accidents” that caused loss of human lives. Maybe he did it for political correctness, but I believe it is more important to learn from software bugs that kill people than from those that only close LAX for a few hours or a hardware failure that causes a laptop battery to explode at a trade show.

Still, this article shows that a big part of today’s world depends on computers and a little bug on one line of code can cause big trouble.

Anyway, it’s an interesting read.
