The B-52 in 1946 that crashed into the Empire State building, for one.

That was in very heavy fog, and at a time when there were not enough tall buildings for pilots to worry about them.

There was a report of a small plane crash just this morning that narrowly missed a house.

There tends to be a lot of houses on the ground, and ground is hard to miss. Tall buildings, however, are very easy to miss - especially on a clear sunny day.

You challenge was to name one, not currcumvent the circumstances! It can happen in good or bad weather. If he lost hydrolics or had a major heart attack it sure as hell can happen on a sunny day. The pilot is reported to be 70 years old BTW.
