Disasters due to ATC misunderstandings

Hi folks,
since I've a lecture on communication in civil aviation I need a few examples of disasters due to ATC misunderstandings (or communication failures within the crew).

When was the accident with the 747s in Amsterdam? What went wrong?

I hope that you can help me out?!
Thx,
pilot007
