From the Wikipedia article
On 6 January 1993, Lufthansa CityLine Flight 5634 departed Bremen Airport for Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport at 17:30. The aircraft operating the flight was a Dash 8-311, with 23 passengers and crew.
Accident
When Flight 5634 was nearing Paris, a Korean Air Boeing 747 scraped an engine pod while landing on runway 27, causing air traffic controllers to close the runway briefly. The pilots were notified to change course to another runway. While turning to line up with runway 28, the airliner, in clouds and heavy fog, entered a high sink rate and crashed into the ground tail-first. The aircraft broke into two, but there was no fire. The crash killed 4 passengers and 19 further were injured in the accident.
