It may give some comfort to think that it was a "well done crash landing".

But the fact is they should have been able to keep the aircraft under control, and do an engine out controlled landing just as the British Airways 777 or the US Air 320 did. Both of those incidents had no loss of life.

You can also go back to the Air Canada B767 "Gimli Glider" or Air Transat A330 which both were able to glide to a controlled landing. Again no loss of life.
