Indeed. But I'm not conscious of the other recent variants of the 737 having anything like this record of serious overruns. And it seems it's all round the world, including US operators. The 737 (with or without these other subtypes) is not a majority of aviation, but the records are there. It would be good to analyse, objectively, and indeed without some of the fanboy/skygod approach we see above, just why it is such an outlier in runway overruns. It must surely reflect in hull loss insurance premiums.

I'm sure there were those who described the MD-11 as "amazing" etc, notwithstanding its record.
