Any competent statistician will be aware of sample sizes and how the unwise make uneducated comments using data (which in this case) is incorrect. Just FYI, the “bunker buster” AKA VH-OJH which over- ran at the old BKK was eventually repaired at huge cost and continued to fly with QF for many years (I was on it some years after the event).
And they didn’t land on a “gold course”, they actually started their adventure by landing on the runway and then proceeded to the golf course.
