Maybe the landing wasn't so exact (landing on a narrow levee),

photo Taca Int’l B737-300 , _AW&ST_ May30’88, pg123: shows aircraft on flat field, within fifty feet of the raised levee. Regarding the landing surface , note the difference between the NTSB’s rpt and the story & photo in _AW&ST_: magazine story states “… unpowered landing on a grassy slope beside a levee …” // Reportedly, after repairs and tow to the levee, TBC pilot Dale R flew that AOG, his takeoff run made atop the levee-road. [Second-hand rumor about DR.]
Aircraft was 2 weeks old when this happened. Still flying in 2016 as N697SW with Southwest. Seems to have ranged as far apart as San Jose CA and Orlando, via many places along the way, only today.
