When the Soviet Navy Lost 16 Admirals in a Single Accident: The Tu-104 Crash at Pushkin
Paper Skies
A fine example of what happens you have blockheads in charge. The more powerful they are, the more dangerous they become. The crash happened at Pushkin Airfield in Leningrad, known today as St. Petersburg.
Cargo shifting also caused the crash of a 747 in Afghanistan back in 2013. I vaguely remember hearing about this. This one only killed the crew, there were no passengers, and it seems to have been due to a human error or mechanical failure, not slavish obedience to drunken fools.
