A Boeing 707-387C cargo flight arriving from Basel via Sao Paulo overran the runway on landing at Buenos Aires Ezeiza on 27 January 1986. It was too high and landed too far down the runway, struck an embankment and came to rest 120 m further on. All five occupants escaped uninjured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
