BoeingMEL,
I, amongst others, did not have the benefit of hind-sight as you did when we made our initial laudatory responses following the initial post. The initial news item originated from Lufthansa's own press release, and airline spokespersons typically understate the significance of incidents and accidents. In that context, we, the initial posters, offered laudatory comments to the crew's heroic efforts. If the airline's own press release had been correct, then the crew DID a superb job, I would consider any crew capable of safely landing an aircraft with ALL flight controls inoperative as having accomplished a superlative job. Many have died in similar circumstances.
Later wisdom in hindsight comes in the knowledge that control reversion / control split enabled the crew to make a relatively normal landing following correct Abnormal / Emergency procedures.
I therefore 'downgrade' my comments to the crew to "Well Done!", and my comments to those pontificating with the benefit of hindsight to "Bad Show!"
