Here you go. A cargo flight that landed short of the runway. The link has some great pictures as well.

Sad to see this beautiful bird with its neck broken and in this condition, but at least no one was killed.

landed short at Entebbe Uganda and is sitting in Lake Victoria. Another beautiful 707 bites tye dust (or maybe I should say hits the drink). No one hurt (cargo plane so no passengers) still very sad.

landed short at Entebbe Uganda

Entebbe is the second biggest lake in the world away from Mwanza. Check out a map, e.g.

Entebbe is in Uganda, northern part of Lake Victoria, Mwanza is in Tanzania, on southern shore.

You're right it was in Tanzania. However, Entebbe is actually the airport serving Kampala Uganda and is not a lake.
