There have been half a dozen crashes in the last 15 years cause by

I can only think of one very probable (German Wings[*]) and one possible
(MH370). Can you give references for the rest?

You can easily google a number of articles. Here's one from before MH370

[*] AFAIK the only evidence so far is from the cockpit voice recorder,
reporting that nothing was said inside the cockpit during the descent or
that terrain proximity warnings were triggered. So at present, I'm not
inclined to accept that as more than very probable cause until data from
the hardware monitoring black box(es) confirm intentional control use and/
or that the terrain proximity warning was disarmed. One report had words
to the effect that 'the autopilot was reset from 38,000 ft to 100 ft' but
I've not seen anything to show this is anything but some reporter's
imagination.

I've previous reported here that this was shown by Mode S data automatically received and stored (as they do for every flight in the world within range) by the FlightRadar24.com web site. Are you suggesting that FlightRadar24 have falsified the data for some reason?
