Did that one at Johnson and Johnson Health Care Systems around '95 as an IBM Global Services guy. Ran to the computer room to restart services and Oracle on AIX.
Apologized to the customer. IBM demanded a formal Root Cause Analysis for the fat finger with recommendations for avoiding the problem in the future.
I proposed redesigned ascii keyboards where Q and 1 weren't adjacent.
Management suits not amused. Customer took it as simple accident and dealt with the 5-10 minute outage.
