In the 1980s, a medical machine called the Therac-25 turned on its patients. It was supposed to cure cancer. Instead, it delivered lethal doses of radiation because of a simple timing error in its code.
This is the story of the ""Malfunction 54"" glitch—a race condition that proved that software can kill. We analyze the specific assembly code failure, the removal of hardware safety locks, and the arrogance of engineers who believed their code was perfect.
Welcome to the Silicon Archives. We excavate the source code of history to reveal the digital errors that shape our reality.
