Clearly all possible preparations made, including foam covered runway, but still a combination of good pilot skills and luck. Fantastic result with no reported injuires!

Passengers were saying the landing was so smooth they thought the gear was down, fantastic job by pilots.

Amazing effort from the crew - close to a perfect landing. Great footage by the way, spotters can really assist in these situations just showing how good the landing was

per The Aviation Herald "about 30 minutes after departure from Newark the crew reported the failure of the center hydraulic system"

wonder if it had an Australian registered plane, would he have had to return to Newark, or proceeded on his trip across the ocean??

Australian registered plane? Or do you mean American registered plane?

Trying to say Qantas, without using the word Qantas?

Too much Qantas lately, like turkey after Christmas

Oh come on, a QF crew would have done the same as the LO crew and, for that matter, any crew from any other airline... ensure the safest and most efficient 'completion' of the flight. Safest and most efficient in that order, too.
