Trojan-ridden warning system implicated in Spanair crash Alert Print Post commentRetweetFacebookCascading fail By John Leyden * Get more from this author Posted in Enterprise Security, 20th August 2010 15:03 GMT Malware may have been a contributory cause of a fatal Spanair crash that killed 154 people two years ago. Spanair flight number JK 5022 crashed with 172 on board moments after taking off from Madrid's Barajas Airport on a scheduled flight to Las Palmas on 20 August 2008. Just 18 survived the crash and subsequent fire aboard the McDonnell Douglas MD-82 aircraft. Spanair's central computer which registered technical problems on planes was infected by Trojans at the time of the fatal crash and this resulted in a failure to raise an alarm over multiple problems with the plane, according to Spanish daily El Pais.

"In the Heathrow case, it seems both machines in the redundant system were upgraded at the same time. Since the two machines failed to restart properly, evidence points to a poorly-tested upgrade as the cause of failure, despite BAA's comment to the contrary."

An Investigation of the Therac-25 Accidents - 0 views
-
A detailed study of the Therac-25 radiation overdose accidents. Rare but easily avoided software bugs in the Therac-25 cancer treatment machine caused six accidents and three deaths. Additionally, many of the stakeholders contributed to the problem through their action or inaction. The fact that the machine was in service for 3 years without error, yet then killed 3 people in two years, gives an interesting insight into how we define "reliable". This case provides an interesting focus for a debate on reliability, dependency on IT, and responsibility for failures. These pages contain a HUGE amount of detail and so I would recommend summarising them for students - especially ESL students. However, if this is done a lively debate can definitely be had.
