I believe an inflight reverser deployment caused the loss on an Air Lauda 767 some years ago
26 May 1991, 223 souls on board. No.1 engine TR deployed about 15 minutes out from Bangkok. Engine thrust reduced to idle, however the reverser plume caused loss of lift over the wing leading to stall and uncontrolled descent. The aircraft broke up as the crew tried to arrest the descent.

See also:

Cessna Citation in 1983 in which both TR deployed at gear retract. Apparently circuit breakers had been pulled the day before and not reset...

Continental Air Lines Sabreliner in 1973; TR deploy after take-off, at about 1000 feet.

Air New Zealand DC-8 in 1966; TR deploy at take-off, insufficient time to correct before impact with ground.
