Got a lot to say for yourself young man.
Trouble with you whipper snappers, no respect for the old guard, whatsoever.
Question? What question? I thought I gave an answer. With airliners no. Can't think of any. However I can think of numerous examples of human error, when automatics would have done the job if man was out of the loop.
However as you no doubt know, when something does go wrong, the first consideration is to make sure the aircraft is flown. In a high profile accident no so long ago 2/3 of the crew were unable to fly the thing. Not their faults as they weren't taught, modern thinking you see. Flying skills are being eroded at an alarming rate, if the skills were there in the first place that is. Would another set of automatics if installed took over have saved all those poor souls? Who knows, but having an operating crew that cant fly the aircraft and no other redundancy is a useless as t*ts on a man.
P.S., without speaking ill of the dead, even if they had no ASI, they had 2 other indications on which to fly or control the aircraft, attitude and power. It appears to me this wasn't done.
