Yes, or the 777 in SFO or the near catastrophe involving a 737 in Bournemouth. There's also Sharm, Rostov, Douala, Kazan and Perm which probably wouldn't have happened in an Airbus. If anyone thinks because they're in a Boeing that they're some how superior or somehow safer should maybe consider hanging up their hat and seeking pastures new as eventually you'll kill someone with that attitude.

Although this example involves a particular airline, it has happened several times before. AF at TLV - again a visual approach gone wrong culminating in alpha floor. U2 are also one of the biggest A32S operators in the world, fly an awful lot of flights every day and have more than their fair share of challenging places so they will likely have more incidents, but on a per 1000 flight basis are extremely low.
