I won't attempt to argue with a retired captain--probably has a lot better data than I do...
I don't recall more than the one that went 'submarine' off the end at Subic. . BUT . . there are some great photos somewhere you just reminded me of at Manila . .don't remember if that was a 'strike', but the A-300 went off the end and across the highway.

AND. .completely forgot about the one at SWF. .the old SAC base at Stewart, NY. That one caught fire in flight and the captain, a close personal friend of mine, did a PHENOMENAL job saving everyone's life. That was a DC-10, completely consumed on the runway. Shipper was responsible for that. . putting bad juju in a box.
