We knew, we all knew (well, all 5-7 readers of this blog) that this day was coming….. Still, its pretty sad when it got here….
A software misconfiguration caused Airbus plane crash.
“The black boxes attest to that,” Lahoud told Handelsblatt. “There are no structural defects, but we have a serious quality problem in the final assembly.” The error was not in the code itself, but in configuration settings programmed into the electronic control unit (ECU) of the engines.
So there you have it. 4 people are dead due to a software misconfiguration.
Not a glitch, not a bug, but a simple human error of putting the wrong parameters into the wrong variables.
