From Wikipedia
Alliance Air Flight 7412 was a scheduled Indian domestic passenger flight from Calcutta to Delhi, operated by Indian regional airline Alliance Air. On 17 July 2000, while on approach to its first stopover in Patna, the Boeing 737-200 operating the route nose-dived and crashed into a residential area in Patna, killing 60 people including 5 on the ground.
The final report, investigated by the Indian Directorate General of Civil Aviation, concluded that the cause of the crash was due to pilot error. The aircraft was on approach with its engines at idle thrust and the crew made several maneuvers with high-pitch attitude. When the aircraft sounded a warning on an impending stall, the crew elected to execute a go-around procedure instead of a stall recovery procedure, causing the aircraft to enter an actual stall condition.
