*[[Pan Am Flight 845]], a [[Boeing 747]], on 30 July 1971. When taking off from [[San Francisco International Airport]], the plane struck the [[approach lighting system]] after taxiing onto a much too short runway. After the impact, the plane continued into the takeoff roll, though its fuselage, landing gear, and 3 out of 4 hydraulic systems were badly damaged. After making a full circle over the Pacific Ocean for an hour and 42 minutes and dumping fuel, the plane made a hard emergency landing at San Francisco, ending on its tail. All 218 passengers survived except for a few minor injuries.
