That was the accident I was thinking of. I should have researched it before posting, as I remembered someone telling about the accident and the cause, which was wrong, instead of looking it up. The actual cause makes more sense, as having all those generator lights on at night would be very hard not to notice just before takeoff. The very last thing I did on every takeoff before going onto the runway in the 727 was to look back at the FE panel to make sure no lights were on.

Thank you.







(Hey, at least I got the type of aircraft correct.)
