There was also that Greek flight where they killed an entire plane load of people with hypoxia because the alarm for cabin air pressure was the same as the alert for arriving at cruising altitude so the flight crew didn't realize it was going off. And thanks to post-9/11 locked cabin policies, which has basically certainly killed more people than they helped, the captains weren't in proper communication with the rest of the crew.
