Airbus A400M Crash
Pesawat A400M jatuh karena 3 dari 4 mesin mati.
“The key scenario being examined by investigators is that the torque calibration parameter data was accidentally wiped on three engines as the engine software was being installed at Airbus facilities, which would prevent the FADECs from operating”
Boeing 737 MAX MCAS
Software MCAS (Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System) menyebabkan 2 buah pesawat Boeing 737 MAX jatuh. Softwarenya sendiri tidak bermasalah, namun proses engineering pada pembuatannya yang bermasalah.

Mars Climate Orbiter
Kesalahan satuan pada software menyebabkan wahana Mars Climate Orbiter gagal mengorbit Mars.
Soviet Early Warning System Faulty Reports (1983)
Pada era perang dingin, USSR memiliki sistem pendeteksi (early warning) peluncuran rudal antar benua (ICBM) dari Amerika. Sistem ini gagal bekerja karena terjadi false positive.
“the false alarm was eventually traced to the satellite, which picked up the sun’s reflection off the tops of clouds and mistook it for a missile launch. The computer program that was supposed to filter out such information was rewritten.”
Patriot Missile Failure (1991)
Patriot Missile adalah Surface to Air Missile (SAM). Pada perang teluk (Gulf War), Rudal Patriot ini gagal menembak misil Scud yang ditembakkan dari Iraq. Akibatnya 28 orang tentara meninggal dan 100 orang luka.
