From Wikipedia
Adam Air Flight 574 was a scheduled domestic passenger flight operated by an Adam Air Boeing 737-400 between the Indonesian cities of Jakarta, Surabaya, and Manado that crashed into the Makassar Strait near Polewali in Sulawesi on 1 January 2007. All 102 people on board were killed, making it the deadliest aviation accident involving a 737-400. After this, Adam Air faced intense scrutiny by the Indonesian government, which launched a national investigation into the disaster. The government's final report, released on 25 March 2008, concluded that the pilots lost control of the aircraft after they became preoccupied with troubleshooting the inertial navigation system and inadvertently disconnected the autopilot. Despite a series of safety incidents, which contributed to the shutdown of Adam Air in 2008, this was the only incident resulting in fatalities during the airline's 5-year existence.
