Question To handle a flap assimetry - your thoughts

You might've heard of a BA125 crash on approach into Kharkiv in the Ukraine in early January. Investigators found that one flap was stuck at a 6 degree position with the other one at 20.
Any thoughts on whether it is at all possible to maintain control of the plane with ailerons and rudder under these conditions.
I don't question the abbilities of the crew involved, it is just a proffesional interest.
I fly a 737 classic and know very little of the BA125. Any thoughts are of great interest.
