Back in the good old (mainframe) days, when we had 30,000 employees with dumb terminals hooked to one big computer, I made a typo in an assembly language job that cleaned up scratch disks every weekend. Caused the system to scratch ALL hard disks, not just the "scratch" disks, and it took down the data center for 48 hours. Sometimes, it doesn't take much to cause a major train wreck. Been there, done that! Nope, didn't get fired, but it was close!!
