Transavia Airlines Flight 462

Transavia Airlines Flight 462 was a Boeing 757-200, registered PH-TKC, that was damaged upon landing at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in 1997. On 24 December 1997, flight HV462 was damaged severely whilst landing at Amsterdam. The aircraft landed in strong, gusty winds and touched down hard with its right main gear first. On touchdown the nose gear broke out of the doghouse. After gliding over the runway for approximately 3 km, it came to rest in the grass beside the runway. Serious damage was inflicted on some electronic systems and control-cables.
