A DHL 757 took off from San Jose on it's way to Guatemala when they declared an emergency citing hydraulic failure. They landed fine but the airplane skidded off the runway at low speed, doing major damage including the tail separating from the aircraft. Both pilots are reported to be uninjured.

I would hazard a guess that it didn't feel particularly low speed on the aircraft! Good to know crew are OK.

Going to need quite a band aid to get it flying again... glad the crew are OK!
