Fly by wire can be hazardous.

That reminds me. After breaking my right shoulder bone playing soccer, I had to drive my stick shift car using my left hand only for the next 3 months. Very inconvenient but doable.
Prior to that, I separated my left shoulder. But driving with right hand only was a piece of cake compare to above.
Landing a plane with one hand while fighting element? That must have been scary.

Just heard a follow up report. According to the pilot there was nothing to it. He said, "I can land that plane with one hand tied behind my back - providing I get to choose which hand."

Then you can only fly in circles.

Going waay off topic here.
Reminded me of this video: He complained about having to pour backhanded so he wouldn't block the camera view!
One day in the mid 1980's I got to see Bob Hoover, Charlie Hilliard, Tom Poberezny, Gene Soucy, Duane Cole and a few others perform. I still remember it.

Quote "However, it said, because the co-pilot would not have time to take stock of what was happening, he decided the best option was to continue one-handed."
A-a-a-a-a, didn't think the cockpit was that big. Thought when landing they would both be sitting side by side. Wouldn't the co-pilot notice an arm falling off or the pilot saying "oh look my arm fell off"
