From Wikipedia
Formosa Airlines Flight 7623 was a scheduled domestic flight from Hsinchu to Kaohsiung, Taiwan. On 18 March 1998, the Saab 340 operating the flight crashed into the ocean shortly after takeoff in a severe right bank, killing all 13 occupants on-board. The investigation determined that the failure of a crucial electrical system, combined with flying in total darkness and a low cloud ceiling, led to the loss of control of the aircraft.
