JAL123 (747SR) had it's 'hydraulic nexus' in the tail, which protected well from engine disintegration, but unfortunately left it very vulnerable to aft pressure bulkhead failure.

IIRC newer aircraft (certainly SLF-carrying ones) have valves in the hydraulic system to prevent leakage in case of a damaged hose.
