The most recent accident that I am aware of where this was a player was the MD11 accident at Subic Bay. Initial reports suggested there was a discrepancy between Capt. and F/O airspeed indicators and they both switched to the erroneous (fast) source. Landed long, very hot, and went off the end of the runway at a high rate of speed. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but the aircraft was destroyed.
