I have no doubt that they did a great job of putting the crippled plane safely on the deck, but when you read this part of the story:
You have to wonder if they pushed their luck a little too far and maybe should have called for a tug like we do in the simulator...they were already Gold Medal winnners for landing safely (Yes, I'm a Hall of Fame Monday Morning Quarterback)

It never stopped until it was in the grass...It just slowly drifted there.

It's mis-reported. The pilots kept asking for chocks to be put in while the aircraft was still on the pavement, but rolling verrry slowly. The emergency crews said they'd chock it when it stopped.

What are you saying? The media got it wrong? That's unpossible!

777 guys.... how often is DXB actually payload optimized? Travelnet always gives the warning for it.

Good point. I'll start writing the outline now.
Dear Penthouse Forum:
I never thought this would happen to me...
(It's not too late, is it?)

Hydraulic reversers. They got it to a slow roll. engine idle produces small amount of trust maybe just maybe they were trying to stop so they shut them down. There was no hydraulics anyways shutting them down would do nothing to the brakes.

But the 88s started rolling off the assembly line (insert Bar joke) in 1987 and ended in 1993 with the MD-90s showing up in 1995.
Average age of the fleet of 182 jets is 21.3 years.
