A spectacular crash, in the mode of the conclusion of the car-chase
scene in the movie Bullitt and many subsequent imitators (compare
{die horribly}). The construction crash-and-burn machine is reported
for a computer used exclusively for alpha or {beta} testing, or
reproducing bugs (i.e., not for development). The implication is that
it wouldn't be such a disaster if that machine crashed, since only
the testers would be inconvenienced.
