Was it a good thing in bad luck that the wheel had blocked in a 90°-off position? In this position, you have not very much forces trying to get you to the sides. I guess, if it would have been blocked 10° or 20° to the left or right, the pilot would have had a harder time to keep it on the center line. Any estimates of the steering forces that are introduced by the wheel compared to those you can get from the rudder and the engines? I guess, in such a situation, one pilot takes care of the rudders and the other stands ready to give some control by the engines.
Congrats to the pilots. It was a very smooth landing - except for the fireworks.
Will be interesting to know what happened that made the wheel block.
