Watch the video above (~15 minutes). Then read an accompanying account of the incidents revealed in the Video at Therac25-Accidents or N. G. Leveson and C. S. Turner, "An investigation of the Therac-25 accidents," in Computer, vol. 26, no. 7, pp. 18-41, July 1993, doi: 10.1109/MC.1993.274940.

Identify three social/technological issues/mistakes illustrated by the accidents?
