Juhu Airfield, Bombay, had a DC-8 arrive unexpectedly back in 1972, link. It mistook Juhu for SantaCruz, and landed on a too short runway, finishing up in local houses after transiting a monsoon ditch.

I've a vague recollection that a Caravelle (or similar) did the same, but managed to stay on the runway, and departed after some severe weight reduction
