The event could be real or fiction (preferably real) and could be serious or humorous (the latter preferred). It will be used as a scene setter for an article on debugging so will need a reference to an article or a book. A local person suggested "Apple Crunch", a science fiction book about a giant traffic jam in New York City which happened when all the traffic signals went green simultaneously due to a software bug. However, I have been unable to find this book. Many Thanks, Robert S.
