Air Berlin Dash 8 runway excursion at Gdansk, Poland
 
I'd say it landed on wheels, and on a runway ;-)

Let's wait on some reports now!

Good grief! Is having a runway excursion the latest must have fashion? There seems to have been a spate of them recently.* On the serious side, I'm pleased all are safe.
*Yes I do know the events are unrelated and have differing circumstances and I would far sooner see four runway excursions where nobody is hurt than four fatal crashes.

Any more news on this one - was it really a runway "excursion" or poor translation?
