It turns out it's possible to land a jumbo jet with nothing but throttle control (i.e. no control of flaps, slats, ailerons, flaperons, elevators, air brakes, dive brakes, spoilers, rudder, trim tabs, spoilerons, stabilators, elevons, decelerons, etc.). It is, however, extremely difficult. Luckily it's also a very rare situation to find oneself in. As a result of these facts, it's only been pulled off successfully 1.5 times.
Yes, 1.5 times.
