I was just watching this video about TWA flight 841 which reminds me of the same thing (no fatalities fortunately but there is discussion of another flight where there were fatalities). As well as a more recent repositioning flight where the plane was empty and the pilots decided to take th eplane up to its max altitude, stalled the engines, and failed to adequately respond to the emergency the whole way down. They crashed because they didn't want to admit how much trouble they were in.
