The railroad system in Dalian, northern China, collapsed citywide on Tuesday for up to 20 hours after the Adobe Flash programing software stopped running.
Adobe had announced as early as 2017 that it would cease support for the multimedia software on Dec. 30 last year. The American software company eventually ended the operation of all Flash content on Tuesday.
Tuesday’s chaos arose after China Railway Shenyang failed to deactivate Flash in time, leading to a complete shutdown of its railroads in Dalian, Liaoning province. Staffers were reportedly unable to view train operation diagrams, formulate train sequencing schedules and arrange shunting plans.
Authorities fixed the issue by installing a pirated version of Flash at 4:30 a.m. the following day.

“Everything is pirated in China. Even the Wuhan Flu was stolen from bats.”
Perhaps, but probably not by China.
We’ve already figured out that Fauci apparently gave China the virus to
perform gain of function research upon, once that was made illegal here.

It wasn’t pirated to begin with?
More shocked that they weren't already running on a pirated version.
BTW, "quantity has a quality of its own." That's what has SanFranNan freaked when she looks at the turnout on the Mall.
Flash and Silverlight died with new html5 versions of the Apple and Google browsers dumped support for plug ins.
