AeroPeru Flight 603 was a scheduled Lima(LIM)-Santiago (SCL) flight which crashed on October 2, 1996.
The investigation put the responsibility on the flight deck crew since they did not react in the best possible way, and tried to return to Lima, something impossible under VFR (visual flight rules), the only way to do it without accurate data from the instruments.
The Flight 603 incident contributed to the demise of AeroPeru, which was already plagued with financial and management difficulties.

The Aeroperu accident in which maintenance people had failed to remove tape they had placed over the static ports, leaving the pilots without information from the air data sensors, was a dramatic portrayal of a pilot's inability or unwillingness to listen to suggestions from his copilot, who in this case, happened to be a woman.

 AG RVS - News and Comment on the Aeroperu B757 Accident; AeroPeru Flight 603, 2 October 1996
Abstract: The purpose of this note is threefold: to provide factual information on the AeroPeru 603 accident on October 2, 1996; to provide comparison and draw some conclusions on the basis of that information, and and to provide a history of what was said about the crash, when, and by whom.
Aeroperu pilots (union pilots?) apparently disputed this attribution of causality, claiming the aircraft would have crashed immediately on takeoff rather than half an hour later.
This failure mode is deemed sufficient by itself to explain the known phenomena associated with the aircraft's demise; and this failure mode is not at all computer-related.

The piece is on the left side of the flight path, but matches the right side of the aircraft.
