I remember an article in Computer World around the early 1990's about American Airlines getting wrecked by the volume initialization "joke". It was not a "joke", but lack of finger checking that cause several disks of DB2 data, etc to be initialized instead of a bunch of new disk recently installed. Took them several days to get everything back together.
