You mean the spectacular glide approach that was pulled off after having transfered all their fuel out of the side with a leak?
Whilst I agree they did a good job once the engines stop lets not forget that it was their basic error that got them there in the first place. A fuel imbalance doesn't just happen all by itself.
The reality is that we don't know about most of the serious malfunctions that are successfully landed because we only hear about the crashes or near misses where the pax are aware of the problem and the media pick up on it.
This particular malfunction had occured numerous times and was handled without difficulty. Which was why no-one who was aware of this re-occuring fault was that big of a problem.
