They were darn lucky to have a pilot capable of putting the aircraft down with such minimal damage right on the runway. Almost reminds me of Air Canada's 767 which also ran out of fuel and had to glide down to a landing.

Thanks for the report Osman.

Here's the link if anybody wants to see the photo.
