sympathize for the crew after a night flight landing early morning,
Many other incidents - first was a BOAC VC10 at Sharjah - flew downwind at high speed and with the larger turn radius rolled out on finals with the new runway of Dubai on the nose. taxiways hadn't been built but had enough juice to take off and land at the correct.
Another gem was the 707 or DC8 that carried out three approaches before it landed Juhu military airport near Bombay - wrong airfield and rather too short for the 4 engined jet - ran off the end to prove the point.
And a couple of years ago Marseilles had the main runway closed for resurfacing - had the pleasure of flying with a low cost carrier who lined up on the runway full of rather large machinery - approach was burnt around 400ft - ten minutes later we landed on the open runway - day flight. Obviously wasn't reported as I haven't read about it.
As was said - there but the grace of dog !
