I would have liked something a bit longer. Awaiting the replies from those with access to the 757 minimum rwy length charts. Was anywhere longer available ? Two hydro systems out also means landing at the nearest suitable airfield. Here we go again with the "nearest" and/or "suitable" debate again (!) Pictures of the crash site show how close to tipping over the edge they came, writing off the aircraft and possibly one death. I always treated minimum landing runway lengths with great care. Not suggesting these guys did anything less. Tough call.
