Phil, update the topic  :D
Now you can add to that:
Qantas B767 pilots forgot to lower wheels.
I don't now what the authorities will do to them but I think this is the less dangerous event from the three (and maybe not even dangerous at all since at 700 feet they still had about a minute to go).

I think that since when they noticed it, they declared a Go Around and didn't try to set the landing configuration "by force" in what was left in the approach, was actually a good common sense and decision making.

I guess they won't loss their jobs.
