We review fifteen recent catastrophic accidents, and evaluate the causative roles that software might have played in the accidents. We note that software may not be the sole cause of all accidents reported in this article, and quite often the causes are a combination of both software and human error. Nevertheless, the focus of this article is still on how faulty software, either directly or indirectly, led to the accidents. We also discuss the lessons that might be learned from the accidents, and the wisdom that we might take away from them. Our list of accidents is in no way complete. The article however aims to be as extensive and detailed as is possible. The accidents were chosen based on the scale of the damage, and on how large a role was played by software, as well as other criteria. 2.
