'Nothing' happened as lots of IT experts worked extremely hard to avoid it, and literally billions was put into avoiding issues. Its not possible to both avert a crisis, and have a crisis at the same time really. I never understand tbh, why people say this of this bug, when the huge huge majority of tech experts agree. Mind, I guess we live in a world these days that should ignore experts. I do wonder how that all would have gone down had the reaction just been 'rargh, just ignore it, scaremongering!' as even with the prep and such, there were nuclear reactors shutting down and stuff..
