Failed ProjectsYou start off with the best of intentions, but through raging incompetence, ineptitude or the plain fact that you're working in IT, things go terribly wrong and there's hell to pay. Tell us about the epic failures that have brought big ideas to their knees. Or just blame someone else.

For my sins I used to work for GEC (Marconi's)In the mid 80's I did some work on the "Phoenix" project. Basically it was an I.R. camera attached to a remote air vehicle.
It was call Phoenix because it had risen from the ashes of an older project "Supervisor". This was a mere flying dustbin with an I.R. camera.
On the T.V. only about 5 years ago there was a documentary on MOD projects that were going over budget. Phoenix was one that was mentioned.
Makes you proud, doesn't it!
