One airliner off-airport landing attempt by a Southern Airways DC-9 in April 1977 on to a highway after a double engine flameout did not have an especially good outcome.
Of the 85 persons aboard Flight 242, 62 were killed, 22 were seriously injured, and 1 was slightly injured. Eight persons on the ground were killed and one person was seriously injured; one person died about 1 month later.
A Korean Airlines 707 did manage a landing onto an ice-covered lake in Russia after taking a missile hit in 1978. Also three successful landings were made in the Jordanian desert in a mass hijack in 1970.
