There were 3, perhaps four such 727 accidents about 1965-66 IIRC. They were at Cincinnati, Salt Lake City, Tokyo Bay, and one over E. Germany (which their regime would not permit a western investigation). One factor was the slow spoolup of early JT8D's out of gnd. idle.

I looked up the accident reports some time ago, maybe I can find them again.

And the F-104 has been landed a few times dead stick. I knew the guy who did the first one.
