Thumbs up Subtle or non subtle uncommanded actions

How about an uncommanded retraction of the flaps during takeoff?

Happened on an Air Canada A-320 several years ago around this time of the year.

The pilots almost lost it.

How about the uncommanded extension of a thrust reverser? In this case the pilots did lose it and all aboard were killed.

There are many more. Some reported and some unreported.
