Supposed Logic Bombing of The Trans-Siberian Pipeline
It has been reported that in 1982 the Trans-Siberian Pipeline incident occurred because of a logic bomb. (It has later been reported that this story may be a hoax). A KGB operative was purported to have stolen the plans for a sophisticated control system and its software from a Canadian firm, for use on their Siberian pipeline. The CIA was supposedly tipped off by documents in the Farewell Dossier and had the company insert a logic bomb in the program for sabotage purposes. This eventually resulted in "the most monumental non-nuclear explosion and the first fire ever seen from space".
