Interesting things happen at all airports, even the controlled ones.
At an international airport in Africa, a twin turbine high winged 44 passenger Fokker Friendship taxied to the ramp and cut the whole tail off a Twin Otter parked on the ramp. Another Friendship landed short, bounced over a highway before arriving at, of all places, the runway. I remember well three other incidents I participated in at an international airport not far away. I pulled up over the threshold and a DC-9 passed about 100 feet below me as it touched down. On another occasion at that same airport, I was cleared to land when a Lufthansa B-707 came along side me on the left, also on final.
