"DHL/EAT Crew Lands A300 With No Hydraulics After Being Hit By Missile"
Further reading suggests two things to me:
1) The two Belgian and one British crew displayed a remarkable job of airmanship.
They sure did!
2) A hit on the outboard left wing of the A300 totally crippled the controls, brakes, etc.?
Not the brakes:
Ghyoot said he believes the aircraft had flaps retracted, but the brakes worked as they were powered by an isolated hydraulic accumulator.
But about the same happened to the mentioned DC-10 which lost controlls after the fan of the tail engine exploded. I can imagine the controlls to be quite unusable when one side doesn't respond ( the way it should).
