The Fourth of July fireworks show above San Diego Bay was over before it was supposed to start after a malfunction caused the display that was planned to last nearly 20 minutes of Fireworks Explode in 15 Seconds
Listen as the owner, of the fireworks company responsible, explains how a programming bug was to blame. There are probably many lessons to be learned from this: 1. Always test 2. Have a fail safe 3. Safety should be the default 4. Always test 5. Have another fail safe 6. Mix programmers and fireworks with caution 7. Always test

Don't you just hate hardware that does exactly what it's asked to do, immediately? More to the point, don't you hate tech writers who fail to document that fact, or if they do, the programmers who felt there was no need to read the manual? :)
