I guess that by definition the crashes described in this thread must be survivable, maybe a little tame? My only real crash, ie aircraft severely damaged, was like that.

1.Coronado, MEA Beirut early 1970s. Coronados landed hot in any event, but on this occasion it was high as well, so we touched down a long way down the runway and hit the scrub at the far end doing about 60Kts (My guess). The worst bit was having to walk back to the terminal. The airport was very different then to what it is now. Just one N/S runway, and little development around it.

(I'm keeping stumm about how a C172 lost its nosewheel landing at Lympne well outside X-wind limits. Not a real crash, anyway.)
