An Ariana 727 crashed at Gatwick during the sixties, attempting an approach in conditions which were considerably worse than Cat I. In addition to the people on the aircraft, I think some people in the house it struck were killed as well. It was the findings from this accident which brought in the Approach Ban in the UK.
On a different topic, the 2 NDB Rwy 29 procedure for Kabul looks interesting. Not as sporty as some places, but interesting enough in a 727-200, let alone a DC-10! Max IAS 150 kt below FL150 and minimum bank angle of 25º in the racetrack pattern.
