Thanks, looks like DC-10's once flew out of LGA as well:

I remembered vaguely that performance out of LGA was somehow factored into the DC-10 and L1011 designs and maybe LAX-HNL required the third engine in the pre-ETOPS era.
As far as the EMAS save, as Governor Mike Pence put it:

We were also taught in Naval Aviation that a Marine knows that he forgot to lower the landing gear when it takes too much thrust to taxi after landing. Maybe that's also how he knows he's rolled into the EMAS.
