On April 4, 1994, KLM Cityhopper Flight 433 to Cardiff, a 33 seater Saab 340 turboprop aircraft operated by KLM Cityhopper, crashed at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. The plane attempted to return to Schiphol 20 minutes after takeoff, after setting the number two engine to flight idle. The crew mistakenly believed that the engine suffered from low oil pressure because of a faulty warning light. On final approach at a height of 90 feet, the captain decided to go-around and gave full throttle, however only on the number one engine leaving the other in flight idle. Because of this, the airplane rolled to the right, pitched up, stalled and hit the ground at 80 degrees bank. Of the twenty-four people on board, three were killed including the captain. Nine others were seriously injured.
