Came across this on another site. The aircraft evac turned into the worlds worst amusement park ride.

Wow, I've never heard of this incident before.  What a fateful day for the crew and passengers.  Thank you for posting this!

We discussed this in crew training at United.Not only is amazing this plane landed with 3 of 4 hydraulic systems out it flew around and dumped fuel.

I figure the reason it bounced on landing is the prox switches on the gear being jacked up along with hyd. failure kept the spoilers from deploying. Well that along with reduced elevator authority.

Yeah, that was one heck of a bounce it had.  Wonderful job by the crews on this, in spite of all the challenges presented to them.  Pure professionalism!
