In 1986 a train station in the middle of Russia had a problem: their computer cargo routing systems were crashing. This stopped the entire train network. But this same problem had occurred before, from radioactive sand in the material chips were made from, to cosmic background radiation. This nearly made Google go bankrupt. All because of radioactivity causing bit flips on memory cells that became (too) small.
