My current understanding of the story is that they lost an engine and all hydraulics. A no flap landing was made on runway 7. The aircraft is now facing at least 90 degrees away from the runway heading, so it looks like a ground loop at the end of the "rollout". The aircraft came to rest near the intersection of the runway 7 and runway 15, closing down the airport to all fixed wing traffic. It's a good thing they managed to stop it where they did because it was headed for the commercial ramp area, where several airliners are parked. It came to rest roughly 100 meters from the nearest parked aircraft.
