First off - well done ...

Now can anyone tell me if both the power buses failed if that would effect the engines in this way?.

As I understand it and please correct me if I'm wrong, the 777 FCS reverts back to a secondary mode then fails over to a very basic mode then finally to a last cable and pulley system for a few selected control surfaces.

If this was the case then I agree with the guy who said the pilots\crew deserve medals as big a as fryingpans....

Cheers
