Dan, EAL 401 on Dec. 29 1972 did not crash due to lack of fuel but crashed due to lack of CRM. Three experienced flight crew, fixated on a lack of nose gear down lock indication, did not notice autopilot disconnect at 2000' and the subsequent descent in CWS mode into the ground. Out of 176 SOB, 94 pax and 5 crew perished on impact.
