Ok, leaving aside any design fault issues -
From what I can tell, this was a
complete and total loss of electrics. Not a partial failure with RAT providing the basics. The loss of electrics resulted in the loss of fuel pumps, and loss of hydraulic systems operated by
electric switches. That the crew managed to find a closed airfield not marked on current aviation maps and make a successful flapless emergency landing is worthy of similar praise to that heaped on Captain Sullenberger and his crew.
