Zebede, well, that's a good point, easily answered this way - the crew had almost no control, that the plane was basically flying itself in some kind of Dutch roll variant, and they were just hanging on and hoping to time the landing just right between the regular oscillations seen very clearly on the turn to final, so as not to snag a wing.
