just a small correction max. TAipei over run by TransAsia A320 was not a fatal accident. IN fact there were no injuries and the plane is still in service. TransAsia had a mishap in Tainan with an A321 where the plane ran over a truck on landing. That plane was written off but no injuries to crew or passengers. Two people in the truck suffered injuries from which they later recovered .

The Taipei over run could easily have been a Congonhas type accident had the runway not been long enough for them to come to a safe stop in the grass after the end of the runway. The scenario was almost identical.
