Sans engineering issues, there surely were eye balls in the tower?
The phrase "gear appears up, go round" springs to mind.

Wheels UP landing

From what I have read this was a clear case of landing WITHOUT having selected the Gear down. The tower controller has only two eyes, the two pilots & F/E have six between them, plus six ears.

The Thai Air Force had a C130 wheels up in 2002 - don't know the details though.
