Manufacture should be charged with public engagement or similar.

An unexpected dead train on a track, emitting bogus codes that possibly confuse rail systems (thus resulting in other trains not being properly warned) could result in a lot of harm. Managers and executives found to be responsible for the team that implemented it should be hit hardest
