The crew did their job of bringing the plane down safely but the accolades heaped on them by certain quarters were way over the top. Have to agree with potteroo's view.
Yes, I'd agree with that. A nasty situation to be presented with near the end of a flight.

The initial statement says the aircraft stopped "within 1,000' of the threshold" on a 12,500' runway... A little more speed on touchdown and there'd have been a good chance of going off the end into the sea.

A330 drivers: what sort of power do you need, OEI, fully configured on a 3deg slope at an average landing weight?
