I politely disagree. Loss of control of the aircraft (due to an electrical fault no less) is second only to the aircraft actually crashing IMHO.

The crew were extremely lucky they were able to re-gain control, eventually.
Its quite possible that there are semantics here.

Could I ask what control was lost and how long and just how was a safe landing eventually made?

It's quite possible that only some functions were lost while others were only temporary in nature and that the crew was able to use back up control finctions to land safely. Thus no luck was involved just adherence to knowledge and training
