Flash Airlines flight 604 in 2004 is another good example.
This was an example of spatial disorientation for sure, but slightly different from the false climb effect that can occur from a rapid increase in pitch followed by a sudden control input to check the increase in pitch attitude. At this point the pilot thinks that the aircraft is going into a loop and pushing forward on the stick will actually exacerbate the situation initially as the difference in pilot-perceived aircraft attitude versus the actual aircraft attitude diverges further.
