That this plane was maneuverable despite a massive engine explosion that took out 65% of its roll control surfaces is absolutely a victory of the engineers of that aircraft. I was shocked when I read that.
Sheer dumb luck was certainly involved. Those discs could have cleaved the plane in half to say nothing of the humans in its way but somehow missed most of the plane entirely. We definitely need to count every single one of those blessings. It's hard not to be positive when such an episode ended with zero fatalities, zero injuries even.
