Asiana in SFO kind of springs to mind. Still in VNAV PTH, so autothrottles sort of in but not really, and no ILS so not tracking the glideslope when the autothrottles would have definitely been in like every other approach always. But the handling pilot somehow didn’t know what was going on, nor did the other three notice, where hands on throttles would have helped and there should have been been, and always should be an obsessive focus on airspeed. And vertical speed for that matter.
