Don't forget BA's 747-400 at Perth WA. There had been really heavy rain and, unbeknownst to all, the soil under the turning circle had been washed out. The unfortunate captain tried to turn his aircraft only to have the tarmac collapse under a wheel. It required heavy lifting gear to extricate it 24 hours or so later. It didn't make the news as all on board were uninjured.
