I found an isrealie airliner that got hit by a SAM too, but it also landed safely.
Maybe SA-7's are just good for taking out helo's. They don't seem to work on bigger jets.

I think that was the DHL cargo plane that got hit when leaving Bagdad Airport. It managed to land (Just!) They managed to control the jet using just engines, as all hydrolics had been lost.
NASA, with the help of the US deparment of defence, developed software that could automaticly contol the aircraft using just the engines (Climb, dive and turn) a couple of years before the incident, but few airlines had taken up the software, as they saw it unessasary
