pilot felt that something was wrong with the rudder/vertical stabilizer... vibration/shudder...
Normal when you hit a power line few miles before

The landing was intended, no more rudder control; then they take the decision to land where they can ... rudder is few miles behind them ... with the power line

They were very lucky.
Nice also that they send an aircraft soon as possible to look for the crew.
