The aircraft didn't want to die.
Yes The aircraft didn't want to die a horrible screaming death!.
Just wondering how much the "landing" was due to the pilots and how much was done by the computers. The 777 is after all fly by wire.
The final report will be very interesting to read. What did the aircraft systems do automatically in response to the lack of the command to the engines to increase power.
Really happy no one was seriously injured and the aircraft can be examined in depth. This will be a real life test flight.
