There's a few I know about, all natural and one or two that are manmade but accidental but still natural artifacts. #1. is a cloudthrough super windshear downdraft (meaning the plane is inside a cloud when effected)#2. Metal fatigue in the aircrafts working structures such as flaps, trims and rudder plus failures in certain components due to age. #3. downdraft beneath a thunderstorm with a suden unloading of cold air as a plane is trying to land #4. and accidental EMP, electromagnetic pulse which could wipe out all the planes electrical systems which in return could wipe out certain computer controlled surface are wing devices and also engine controls as well as radio outages.Not to mention a heart attack or stroke of the captain of the plane......or even a lightning strike through a fuel tank (though that is super rare) during flight.....and I'll go as far as suggesting a plane being hit by a meteorite which would decompress a pressurized cabin.

There is only one thing that causes a plane to spiral and that is the pilot forcing it to spiral.* When the air speed across the inside wing drops below the minimum to provide lift, control is lost. Wind speed on the outer wing is much higher and it is very difficult to overcome this combination of forces. The plane typically will lose about ten thousand feet of altitude before the pilot can regain control.
There may be a natural condition that will cause that, but I never heard of it.
*The most common situation is a landing approach, and the pilot needs to turn, but is afraid to point a wing at the ground at such low altitude.
