Software causing loss of life or property?

Are there any specific examples(articles/ news clips) were a software bug/defect caused the loss of life or property. I have been thinking a failure at a nuclear facility or air traffic control system or banking system might be areas where this could happen but can’t find specific examples.
any help??? thanks

Very interesting question. No even, I didn’t find any articles showing any such incidents.

Probably, there may not be direct losses of life, but can be the indirect ones. May be because of the major fraud due to the bug in the banking software might have costed victim’s life. Just guesses.
