It's amazing how quick you guys are to pull others apart when you don't have all, or sometimes any of the facts.
You would be more correct to say that a loss of hydraulics should not cause a major problem. But where did the hydraulic fluid go to and did this give rise to something else ............. fire maybe? Not sure I would try to see how long I could last in the air with that happening!!
Your assumptions on the Den Helder situation are much the same - assumptions. Unless of course you know something the rest of us dont.
