Accident? Accident?
- If you mean Konrad Zuse's Z3, it was blown up in a WW2 allied bombing raid.
- If you mean John Vincent Atanasof's ABC it was cut in little pieces because it was too big to fit through a doorway when the university needed to move it to make room for more classrooms.
- If you mean the Colossus cryptanalytic machines at Bleechley, Winston Churchill ordered them smashed into pieces no bigger than a man's fist for security.
- If you mean Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine, it died of no funding and no interest in its abilities. Human computers worked just fine and didn't need the temperamental/argumentative/unreliable Babbage to make them work.
