I remember that GA Airbus flight that went off the end of the runway in Abu Dhabi in 1996 (or 1997). The local newspaper had it on the front page with the GA logo airbrushed out.
I never saw the reason. I suspect it was an ATC fault as Airbus didn't ground anything and the pilot (who was kept under armed guard in hospital in case he tried to 'escape') wasn't charged with anything.
