When you're designing or building some things you are just GOING to kill people.
The right decision in designing a car (centre of gravity, stopping distance, thickness of gas tank) WILL kill many people.
Incompetence killing people is one thing (bad spec for o-rings, Therac 25 programming leading to massive radiation dose) but in some programming domains you just are going to make decisions that end badly. If you make the right decisions you'll kill fewer people than the alternative but still some are going to die.
