multiple_organization |
(a) The software failure incident having happened again at one_organization:
- The article does not mention any specific software failure incident happening again within the same organization or with its products and services.
(b) The software failure incident having happened again at multiple_organization:
- The article mentions a previous incident involving the Boeing 737 MAX, where two accidents occurred due to software issues that led to the grounding of the aircraft for 20 months [116431]. |
| Phase (Design/Operation) |
unknown |
(a) The software failure incident related to the design phase:
- The incident involving the Boeing 737-200 cargo plane's dual engine failure off the coast of Hawaii was not attributed to a software failure related to the design phase. The focus of the incident was on the mechanical failure of the engines, leading to the emergency landing in the sea [116431].
(b) The software failure incident related to the operation phase:
- The article does not mention any software failure incident related to the operation phase. The primary focus of the incident was on the mechanical failure of the engines of the Boeing 737-200 cargo plane, leading to the emergency landing in the sea [116431]. |
| Boundary (Internal/External) |
within_system |
(a) The software failure incident related to the Boeing 737-200 cargo plane crash off the coast of Hawaii appears to be within_system. The incident involved both engines of the plane failing, leading to an emergency landing in the sea. The pilots reported losing one engine and the second one running very hot before failing as well. The software failure in this case seems to be related to the malfunction or failure of the engines within the aircraft system itself, rather than being caused by external factors [116431]. |
| Nature (Human/Non-human) |
unknown |
(a) The software failure incident in the Boeing 737-200 cargo plane off the coast of Hawaii was not directly attributed to non-human actions such as a software glitch, bug, or fault. The incident was primarily related to the failure of both engines, leading to an emergency landing in the sea. The cause of the engine malfunction was not specified in the articles [116431].
(b) The software failure incident in the Boeing 737-200 cargo plane off the coast of Hawaii was not directly attributed to human actions introducing contributing factors that led to the failure. The incident was primarily related to the failure of both engines, which prompted the emergency landing in the sea. The cause of the engine failure was not explicitly linked to human actions [116431]. |
| Dimension (Hardware/Software) |
unknown |
(a) The software failure incident in the Boeing 737-200 cargo plane off the coast of Hawaii was not directly attributed to hardware failure. The incident involved both engines failing, leading to an emergency landing in the sea. The cause of the engine malfunction was not specified in the articles, and it was mentioned that it was unclear what caused the engines to malfunction [116431].
(b) The software failure incident did not have contributing factors originating in software as the primary cause. The incident was primarily focused on the failure of both engines of the Boeing 737-200 cargo plane, leading to the emergency landing in the sea. The articles did not mention any software-related issues as a contributing factor to the incident [116431]. |
| Objective (Malicious/Non-malicious) |
non-malicious |
(a) The software failure incident in the Boeing 737-200 cargo plane off the coast of Hawaii was non-malicious. The incident involved both engines of the plane failing, leading to an emergency landing in the sea. The pilots reported losing one engine and the second engine running very hot, indicating a technical malfunction rather than a malicious act. The National Transportation Safety Board sent investigators to determine the cause of the engine failures [Article 116431].
(b) The incident did not involve any indication of malicious intent or sabotage related to the software failure. The focus was on the technical aspects of the engine failures and the emergency landing that followed, with no mention of intentional harm introduced by humans [Article 116431]. |
| Intent (Poor/Accidental Decisions) |
unknown |
The software failure incident reported in the articles does not directly relate to either poor decisions or accidental decisions. The incident primarily involved the failure of both engines of a Boeing 737-200 cargo plane off the coast of Hawaii, leading to an emergency landing in the sea. The focus was on the mechanical failure of the engines rather than software-related issues. |
| Capability (Incompetence/Accidental) |
accidental |
(a) The software failure incident does not seem to be related to development incompetence. The incident was primarily due to the failure of both engines of a Boeing 737-200 cargo plane, leading to an emergency landing in the sea off the coast of Hawaii. The cause of the engine malfunction was not specified in the articles [Article 116431].
(b) The software failure incident appears to be accidental rather than intentional. The incident was described as the loss of both engines of the Boeing 737-200 cargo plane, which forced the emergency landing in the sea. The pilots reported engine troubles and were attempting to return to Honolulu before losing the second engine and having to ditch the aircraft into the ocean. The exact cause of the engine failures was not explicitly mentioned in the articles, indicating an accidental nature of the incident [Article 116431]. |
| Duration |
unknown |
The software failure incident reported in the news articles does not directly relate to a software failure in terms of a bug, fault, error, or glitch. Instead, the incident primarily involves the failure of both engines of a Boeing 737-200 cargo plane, leading to an emergency landing in the sea off the coast of Hawaii. The focus is on the mechanical failure of the engines rather than a software-related issue. Therefore, the articles do not provide information on the duration of the software failure incident as it is not applicable in this context. |
| Behaviour |
crash |
(a) crash: The software failure incident in the news article resulted in a crash as the Boeing 737-200 cargo plane experienced engine failures and had to make an emergency landing in the sea off the coast of Hawaii [116431].
(b) omission: There is no specific mention of the software omitting to perform its intended functions in the incident reported in the news article.
(c) timing: The incident did not involve a failure related to the timing of the system performing its intended functions.
(d) value: The software failure incident did not involve the system performing its intended functions incorrectly.
(e) byzantine: The incident did not exhibit behavior related to the system behaving erroneously with inconsistent responses and interactions.
(f) other: The software failure incident in the news article involved a crash due to engine failures on the Boeing 737-200 cargo plane, leading to an emergency landing in the sea off the coast of Hawaii. The incident raised questions about the cause of the engine malfunctions, but there was no specific mention of the software itself malfunctioning in a way not covered by the other options. |
