Seems this story is quite true!
Look at the damage to that A320! A few more feet off the tail and it would be quite a different outcome. Well done to the crew!

Can't Believe it kept flying, well done to the crew. This is pretty big news, suprised no one else has picked up on it. http://avherald.com/img/syrian_arab_a320_yk-akf_damascus_120920_1.jpg
