Oh look, an ad for Visual Basic from 1995! Event driven code sucks and is not better. I learned this writing VB code. Others learned the hazards of event driven code in the Therac 25.

Being event driven was not the problem with the Therac 25. No QA, no real testing, and the elimination of hardware locks which would’ve entirely prevented the problem in the first place were the problem with that system.
