203 : On February 16 , 1998 , an Airbus A300B4-622R , China Airlines Flight 676 , en route from Ngurah Rai Airport in Bali , Indonesia , to Chiang Kai-shek International Airport ( now Taoyuan International Airport ) , Taiwan , crashed into a road and residential neighborhood in Taoyuan , Taiwan , killing 182 passengers , 14 crew , and 7 people on the ground . An investigation determined that when the control tower ordered the pilot to abort his landing and " go around " for a second attempt , the pilot , who had unintentionally released the plane 's autopilot , did nothing to take control of the plane for 11 seconds as he apparently thought the autopilot would initiate the go around . As the aircraft approached the airport , the pilot executed a sudden steep ascent that produced a stall and crash . China Airlines was also criticized for " insufficient training . " 200 : On July 10 , 1985 , a Tupolev Tu-154B-2 , Aeroflot Flight 7425 , on a domestic Karshi – Ufa – Leningrad route , crashed near Uchkuduk , Uzbek SSR , Soviet Union , on the second leg of its route . All 191 passengers and 9 crew were killed . An investigation concluded that the plane went down due to pilot error . The air crew used an inappropriately low airspeed , causing vibrations that they incorrectly interpreted as engine surges . As a result , they further reduced engine power , causing the aircraft to stall and crash
