Since you quoted NASA - saying that their computer system would have totally coped with the Sioux City incident - I thought I would give you an example where a NASA computer got it very wrong. It did so because the wrong data - or insufficient data - had been loaded into it, (by humans). When it got to a few ?hundred feet above the moon, the pilots could see that the computer was about to do the wrong thing so they intervened.
Is that really a good example? Computer with less capacity than a modern toaster has snag during most ground breaking test flight in history shocker!
