On the 18th july 2006 at 09.47 an Airbus (A321) of Onur Air from Turkey, touched the ground with his tail at Rotterdam Airport. (RTM) It came from Alanya after a flight of 3 and a half hour. As a report of the Dutch safetyboard says: "In the final part of the approach the airspeed suddenly dropped and the sink rate increased. The pilot pulled the aircraft's nose up just before touch down. The aircraft landed short on the stopway of the opposite runway and the tail struck the ground". There were no injuiries. DePlane! made a picture of the Airbus while they are repairing.
