Straight out of college I was one of 100+ design engineers on the Mode-S
FAA air traffic control system - multiprocessor, fault-tolerant system,
etc. The design docs (let alone software) filled volumes. Much as I
hope there were zero bugs in the complex system, it was after all
designed by people...
One thing I recall is that the FAA contract permitted 1 second of down
time per year. :-)

risk my life with.
