crash in the U.S. a few years ago due to lack of fuel...
For what it's worth, way longer than "a few years ago." United DC-8 going in to Portland in the late 1960s, if memory serves. Can't remember if the captain had a gear-indicator problem or what, but held while trying to deal with it while the flight engineer kept telling him they were running low on fuel.

Had nothing to do with uploading insufficient fuel.
