Navigator33, nope sorry you don't win! I would suggest he landed on 06 and ran off the end (by the 24 threshold!). If you know the airport, he stopped the rascal about 30m. from a hefty drop onto the main road that runs around the airport.
You are absolutely correct however that several a/c have run off both 06 and 24 due to the downslope gradients from both ends. Add a little rain, and that's when floating it down the runway gets you into BIG trouble!
