It's quite eerie listening to that. Things could have been so much worse.

Listened to it last night-always amazes me how calm the controllers/pilots are in these situations-have heard a few cockpit recordings of incidents (eg the Thompson B767 that suffered a birdstrike on takeoff a few years back at Manchester.)
