Swissair Flight 111 was possibly crashed by its entertainment system. Nothing to do with the software though.

If I recall correctly, it was installed questionably, drew too much power and caused a fire.

That was the wiring and circuit breakers, not the software.

(Also flammable material)

Edit: yes, not software related.
