if you miss the runway.. its a crash... even if it's an intentional
outlanding in a field by a glider because the lift deteriorated..

but then again.. I've seen some crashes... and dashes.. on the runway..

Why does the press refer to emergency landings as 'crashes',,, if they
were
truly uncontrolled as the word "crash" implies, there would have more
likely
been fatalities rather than minor injuries... grrr :-)
