How about AA 965 in Cali in 1995..?? The report is online, as you are so keen to point out. A sad case of automation confusing the civilian crew,
The crew weren't confused by automation. They lost situational awareness during a short notice change to an approach. They accepted the new approach without any appreciable consideration, leading to rushed and faulty procedures. Contributing factors were the lack of approach radar, two NDBs in the same area with the same frequency and ident and there not being a requirement to retract the speed/air brakes during the reaction to a GPWS alert. There last would probably have allowed them to clear the hilltop.
