What's the most impressive example you know of a pilot avoiding disaster against all odds?

I was just reading a book about Japan Air Lines Flight 123 and was so impressed by what the pilots managed to do in an awful situation where the only thing in their control was the engine thrust. Sadly this case ended in disaster, but it got me wondering whether there are any examples of pilots who have found themselves in equally perilous situations, yet, against all odds, managed to land the aircraft relatively safely?
