Boeing 737 pilots battled confused safety system that plunged aircraft to their deaths – black box

That was an Airbus, I believe the problem there was they'd configured the aircraft to land to do the flypast without asking the engineers if that was a problem. It turned out once the aircraft thought it was going to land that's what it was going to do. I'm not totally sure why the actions for a go-around weren't successful, unless the pilots didn't think to try that. In that case I'm pretty sure it was Airbus operating the aircraft so you'd think they'd have known.
