It's three sentences from three different reports. All Boeing. All stalled into the ocean/sea.
Ethiopian Airlines Flight 409
Birgenair Flight 301
Aeroperú Flight 603
Really these accidents should come immediately to mind for anyone interested in airliner LOC/Stalls (and UAS), but some people seem to have a block which prevents them getting on their radar because they were Boeings, with yokes. Adjust your tilt / gain and look beyond the small side-stick shaped problem in front and see the big yoke shaped one behind, otherwise you risk avoiding only the small storm and flying straight into the big one.


You could also of course have this one for mishandled stalled Boeing :
From the NTSB report's abstract:

...the probable cause of this accident was the loss of control of the aircraft because the flightcrew failed to recognize and correct the aircraft's high angle of attack, low-speed stall and its descending spiral. The stall was precipitated by the flightcrew's improper reaction to erroneous airspeed and Mach indications which had resulted from a blockage of the pitot heads by atmospheric icing.

When investigators analysed the 727's voice recorder, the recording revealed that the pilots believed that the shaking of the stick shaker mechanism was caused by the airliner reaching the speed of sound, and not a warning that it was going into a stall.[2]
Northwest Airlines Flight 6231. Didn't end up in water though, which was the original criteria.
