EK 777 Emergency Landing at DXB
Last Thursday the 5th there was an emergency return of a B777. Heard that it landed on 30L with a hydraulic problem. Fire trucks and much ado.
Any details?

hydraulic Problem
I heard they lost all the fluid out of the center system after takeoff, decided to return to DXB , jettisoned fuel, ran checklist (alt gear extension...etc,etc) returned safety to DXB. Very nice job I heard. I guess it must have been just like a sim running all those checklist. Great job guys.....
Its an EMERGENCY when one is declared with a Mayday. Otherwise it's a non-normal and a return to land. Well handled an no big deal.
