I mean some of the biggest examples have been tech. AOL and Time Warner was a hot mess that destroyed both, for instance.

AOL would have been destroyed anyway. They were a dialup ISP who saw their time coming. They were smart to take their inflated stock price to buy a real asset.

Of course they mismanaged it and it should have been a reverse takeover like Next/Apple.
