I once again found myself browsing the net in utter boredom and came across another interesting incident. If one where to be consistent it would suffice to say that not only SAA are stocked with outstanding pilots. Take a look at another exhibition of skill.

On landing runway 09 in darkness and in stormy conditions with gusts peaking at 43 knots, the aircraft veered off the side of the runway where it came to a stop on soft soil. All on board left the A320 unhurt. Damage to the aircraft is believed to be repairable. Djerba Airport was closed for all traffic until weather conditions had improved and the A320 was removed by a towing vehicle.
