Well, I stand corrected. That's both surprising and an incredible feat of airmanship by the pilots!

Since I love reading about these kinds of incidents and the best way to solve a problem is to claim it's impossible, I amend my claim to "I rather doubt there are two examples of an off airport landing of a 737 without significant damage to the aircraft." :)

The famous Gimli Glider wasn't badly damaged either, although it was a 767!
