I'm working on a paper dealing with CFIT and have to reference 3 NTSB accidents. I want to use the accident in which the plane crashed because the crew was occupied with the lightbulb that burnt out on something. The problem is thats all I remember about it and cant get any search results. So if anyone can tip me off as to the airline, date or anything else I'd appreciate it.
CFIT due to a lightbulb....

Another similar one was UAL 173 at Portland, December 28, 1978. Ran out of gas and crashed in the suburbs of Portland while worrying about a landing gear indication. Most passengers survived, some even crawled out of the wreckage and walked home. But this accident was the impetus for today's CRM programs.

did you search here:
NTSB Website
Thsi site is a gold mine. I read it on a regular basis just to see what kind of mistakes are being made and what there is that can be learned from them.

I get the accident narratives from there, but never made use of any other feature. But I'll check it all out this time.

Aside of the NTSB report, this is the best resource on the net for Eastern 401 info:http://www.geocities.com/donuts13/index.htm

the ntsb.gov site is OK, but if you're doing research here's a better one: nasdac.faa.gov
It gives you access to the entire NTSB database like ntsb.gov, but it has more robust search options so you can narrow down what you're looking for. You can also search ASRS reports, the FAA incident database, and other stuff from this site.
