Used to fly into Bergamo at least every week. Due to the lack of an instrument approach on RWY 10 aircraft would regularly accept some pretty hefty tailwinds coupled with a wet runway on 28 instead of circling to 10. I personally witnessed a Ryanair 737 come dangerously close to an excursion under those conditions. I'm not suggesting that the crew were landing out of limits in this case or that weather/tailwinds has been a factor but that kind of incident (runway excursion) has been waiting to happen at Bergamo for a long time now.
