Lauda Air lost a 767 in May 1991 when a reverser deployed in flight near Phu Khao Kao Chan, Thailand.

It crashed into dense jungle on climb-out after the reverser deployed on engine the left engine. It caused massive yaw forces beyond the design limits of the aircraft.

Cause of the unwanted deployment was never exactly established.

Any reverser unlocked indication in flight is potentially very serious.
