Someone mentioned Flap 25 as standard landing flaps for BA. How lucky in this case...imagine the greater drag from a Flap 30 landing combined with the lower Vref +5 speed that they would have been at...wonder if they would have then cleared the fence if they had indeed lost thrust on both engines...scary thought.
