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.
Fly by wire, fly by cable, fly by rod, or whatever, I am sure the pilot was operating the controls, as the autopilot would not be connected under those conditions. I suspect that inertia was in control with a panic pull at the last few seconds. A bit like some of my landings!!
