In 2014, a simple counting glitch known as the “Gangnam Style bug” forced YouTube to completely rewrite its core software architecture—because the site’s engineers had used a 32-bit integer to count video views, never imagining a single music video would surpass 2.1 billion views and completely max out the platform’s counter.

On 15 September 2017, NASA engineers deliberately steered the Cassini spacecraft into Saturn’s atmosphere at 70,000 miles per hour, not because the mission had failed but because they were terrified of where it might fall if they left it in orbit.
