Airbus crash during air show

On: Smart Cars to Save Stupid Drivers?

One of the first Airbus A320's crashed because the computer wouldn't let the pilot do what he wanted. The plane was in a landing configuration and was going to do a flyby of the runway. The pilot tried to pull up after the flyby, but the plane thought it was supposed to land, and wouldn't let the pilot pull up

The plane slowly passed the runway and 'landed' in the forest beyond the airport.
