"On 4 November 2007, a Boeing 7772D7 aircraft, registered HS-TJW, was being operated by Thai Air on a scheduled passenger service from Bangkok, Thailand, to Melbourne, Vic, with 17 crew and 277 passengers on board. During a non-directional beacon (NDB) non-precision approach to runway 16 at Melbourne Airport, the aircraft descended below the segment minimum safe altitude at 6.8 distance measuring equipment (DME, a measure in nautical miles). Soon after, the crew received two enhanced ground proximity warning system (EGPWS) cautions. The crew then leveled the aircraft and conducted a visual approach and landing on runway 16. The investigation is continuing." See: tinyurl.com/2skz4j
