That incident (and a few others involving exceptional piloting skill) are detailed fairly well in a book called "Emergency, Crisis in the Cockpit" by Stanley Stewart.... Since remamed to the more PC "Emergency, Crisis on the Flightdeck" (no joke)....Good book - one of my recommendations... If you ever see it, pick it up.... Also has the Tristar that lost all its oil due absent o-rings... The famous BA747 that flew into the volcanic ash.... The Air China 747SP that had the upset when an engine flamed out and some others... Regards, BB.

Im sure they may still have a copy published in the website somewhere. BTW its not a small report either.....
