While I was looking through YouTube for a Harrier video to play for my son, I came across something called 'The Alraigo Incident'.

 

I had never heard about this before...but thought it was interesting enough to post on here.

 

 

Watson saw that some cargo containers formed essentially a deck, one similar to a landing pad he had used during training. “Well, I thought, in for a penny, in for a pound, and I landed the airplane on the containers.”

Full story here: The Alraigo Incident

 

And video from the news reports at the time:
