Now I know it's not a great way of stopping an aircraft, but the ravine did stop the Airbus from carrying straight on across a crowded highway.
If you read through the thread, this was discussed in some detail. Both from the point of view of the extended centre line and that if the ravine was covered by a bridge, then that could support an overrun speed reduction system. Links to one manufacturer were posted.
