Deepwater Horizon, Bhopal, CIA black sites, the list is long. The level of either incompetence or pure indifference to human and environmental cost is just incomparable.
Name one such for the tech industry.

Assisting in mass surveillance seems similarly heinous to me.
Ux that deliberately encourages addiction and compulsive behavior is also pretty bad, and is highly pervasive.

The communications industry has a long history of enabling government to spy on the people.

Could the IT industry ever cause this much harm? I suppose if an IT failure caused major infrastructure to fail, or propaganda caused a war ... or if propaganda enabled a Russian mole and fascist to become President of the U.S. (if that's what he is).
Why would the tech industry be any better? The industries you name are somewhat more dependent on government, but Google and 'big tech' are still heavily dependent.
