Place I worked always rated hydraulic failure, irrespective of the number of systems, as a Full Emergency because, as you said, it could cause big problems.

Hydraulic Issues
What is your opinion if all you know is a "hydraulic problem?" They are unable to tell you if it's a leak or a complete failure?

Ho Yus. Any right-thinking bean-counter wouldn't even be asking you to 'explain'.....

Clear2Land - did SFO keep operating on the other runways or did it close due 'fire cover'?

SFO closed because emergency vehicles were all over the place crossing runways etc. They eventually opened up the north/south runways later that night, then eventually 28R and a week later 28L -- I was actually working tower then they opened it.. Southwest was changed to runway 28L to accommodate an UAE departure off 28R .. Wow..surprised I remembered all that. LOL.
