There is no doubt in anybody's mind that it took a pretty neat bit of flying to get an aircraft from 17 minutes out with no fuel to on the ground with no injuries.
HOWEVER...
It took pretty questionable airmanship on the part of the captain to find himself in that situation in the first place (even allowing for Air Transat Engineering's poor config control which caused the fuel pipe/hydraulic line chafe in the first place).
It was a fiendish bit of good luck that the Azores are where they are. Another 1/2 hour further out and the story would have ended a lot differently...
