You mean like an accident - all mechanical errors?
Massive electronic failure and/or catastrophic mechanical errors are frequent causes of aircraft casualties. Far more often than crew malefesance. Remember that airliner that blew up off New York a few decades ago? Lots of people saying it was a stray Navy missile. Turned out to be a bare wire in a fuel tank. If the plane had been in the air for fifteen more minutes it would have disappeared, plain and simple.
