what i meant was decades ago, not the "recent" crashes of 2018..
i tried to find it but didn't yet. there are way more plane crashes than i thought i would have to go through..
looking at "new technology" introduced (as it was quite new) i stumbled over this article and remembered that the "three computers voting" (while the pilot may only take place in that voting - as a minority ...) was part of the discussions back then (which is not written in that article however, but i found one piece, yay!):

i feel like i could remember something wrong like it maybe was not a takeoff but possibly a go-around where the crash happened... not sure i won't yet give up searching, but i have to stop for now..
edit: i am not saying it was a 777, i just found a piece of my 20year old puzzle...
went through lots of plane accidents to find the one i think to remember, but had to stop as i do not want to increase fear of flying. however i stumbled about this one, Airbus A320 Air France flight 296 on 26th of June, 1988 which was sort of related as some "security" mechs seemed to have prevented crash prevention there and fired discussions. but this one was earlier and it was not boeing (and it looks like no one tried to cover things). however since it was during an airshow, not a commercial flight, i now figured out that the one i remember could have been a testflight, cargo flight or something else like a flight show as well... not sure if i "can" find it, the little i remember.
