There was NOTHING that another hydraulic pump or RAT could have done in that situation.
While this is true, there remains one other safety feature that was fitted to only one type of first generation wide body jet transport, originally, from the factory (not added later).

The type?
TriStar.
A superb example of aircraft systems redundancy...bar none.
