Came across this story and photos recently depicting the retrieval of this plane from a runway overrun.

This really is a great story. There are a few videos of the incident on youtube that may be of interest;

Funny how the reporter states “Alrosa Airlines, which owns the plane, says it wasn’t aware of any issues before take-off – but added it would never fly it again”… I assume the ‘it’ is the plane? 😛

What a wonderful story. Thanks for sharing this link. Really enjoyed reading it and seeing a beautiful aircraft mended and put back in the air.
