[Ads-l] excursion

[Jonathan Lighter]

A Pegasus Boeing 737 packed with passengers has skidded off the runway in
Turkey and slid down a headland nearly into the Black Sea, where it perched
nose down till rescue equipment could be mustered.

Airline authorities describe the event as a "runway excursion incident."

Predictably, a cursory Google search  finds exx. back to 2004-2005.
