I am wondering if the uncontained engine failure also took out the associated hydraulic system. In any event, it was surreal, I've had nightmares that looked like what I was witnessing.

I watched him cross over Great Neck Estates with the gear down at 700' and it didn't look like he was going to make it. Go to Passur.com and enter the tracking for 1641 local at LGA and you can watch by clicking on the departure off of 4, that's 2391.
What associated hydraulic system? I'm too lazy to dig in my manuals, but as I recall the -80 has only rudder boost and an elevator pusher for hydraulics - flight controls. And I believe both of those are off of accumulators. Cable driven control tabs. It's one of 'the original fly by wire planes': 1/8 inch steel cable.
GOOD JOB Gents!!
