China Airlines Flight 676

Wikipedia

 
On the night of February 16, 1998, China Airlines flight 676 (CAL676, CI676) crashed at road and resident near Chiang Kai Shek International Airport, Taiwan.

The Airbus A300B4-622R jet, registered B-1814, was en route from Ngurah Rai Airport to Taipei. The weather was inclement with rain and fog when the aircraft approached Chiang Kai Shek airport, so the pilot requested a go-around. After the jet was cleared to land at runway 05L, the autopilot was disengaged, and the pilots then attempted a manual go-around. The jet slowed down, pitched up by 40 degrees, rose 1,000 feet (300 m), stalled, and crashed into a residential neighborhood, bursting into flames. All 196 people on board were killed, along with seven people on the ground.

The flight route designator for this route has since been changed to flight 688.
