One of those things that can happen to anybody, the worlds highest houred 747 Captain came extremely close to doing same, and that was with every member of the cockpit crew being C & T.
Hear's the story, as told in John Deakin's inimitable style:

​​​​​​​I can’t help but wonder what it would be like to be the only man in history to ever belly-land a perfectly good 747. When I think about it, I keep getting that funny feeling, kinda like standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon, back before they built all the protective fences. It’s not a nice feeling, either way.Be careful, up there!
