How a PROGRAM ERROR Caused DEADLY Radiation !!!

In the 1980s, hospitals trusted the Therac-25, a revolutionary radiation therapy machine run entirely by software. But hidden bugs turned it into a death trap. A race condition in its code caused massive overdoses—hundreds of times stronger than intended—killing and injuring patients in seconds. Engineers discovered that one mistyped command could trigger disaster. The Therac-25 tragedy became a turning point in medical safety, proving that even code can kill.
