[SystemSafety] A small taste of what we're up against

[SPRIGGS, John J]

Dewi said: There has not been a single hull-loss accident in passenger service ascribed to a software fault.

To draw a parallel; is that because the software survived the accident?

I'd like to see an ALARP argument for software written in C. Does anyone
have one to share?

There are over 25,000 certified jet airliners in service world-wide, many containing software written in C. There has not been a single hull-loss accident in passenger service ascribed to a software fault.
