For those of you who don't understand alternate gear extension (required in this case following loss of No 4 Hyd system)

Electric motors power a cable system to unlock the gear doors and gear uplocks, allowing the gear to freefall....

Me thinks it won't be long before there is a Boeing service bulletin to check the motors and cables!
