Two different incidents. A Phoenix B707 did overrun rwy 26 on 30 Apr 1973 when landing in wet conditions with a 15kt tailwind. I was the tower controller. I declared an aircraft accident when it re-appeared from behind hangar 89 still going like a train.
We did not have an ILS on rwy 08 in those days and the ACR430 radar, used for half-mile SRAs, was unsuitable due weather clutter. It was not a diversion and I seem to recall the aircraft was not recovered until the next day.
N108BN B707 lost a nosewheel when landing on rwy 26 on 28 Mar 1977. It was only later we discovered 'ol' blue eyes' was onboard!
I was Manager ATC when the BMA B737-400 landed with both engines at idle and met the Captain on the runway. This was 8 Mar 1995. Both engines were streaked with large amounts of oil.
