Deactivation of Flash may have crippled Chinese railroad for a day [Updated] - Ars Technica
One result, according to Apple Daily, was chaos in a Chinese railroad in Liaoning province.
As a result of the outage, Apple Daily says, "staffers were reportedly unable to view train operation diagrams, formulate train sequencing schedules, and arrange shunting plans.".
As a result, the railroad was unable to dispatch its trains, "leading to a complete shutdown of its railroads in Dalian, Liaoning province," according to Apple Daily.After a day of chaos, the railroad found a solution: it reverted to an older version of Flash without the self-deactivating code.It also says that the railroad reverted to an old version of Adobe Flash but not a pirated version.
As a non-Chinese speaker, it's hard for me to be sure if the Apple Daily story is accurate or not.
