Selected text from article:
British Airways could face a bill of at least £100m in compensation, additional customer care and lost business resulting from an IT meltdown that affected more than 1,000 flights over the weekend.

This is just an extreme example of the same mindset from the other side of the pond. And from Skidmark:
