"no doubt the 4 turbo props had a lot to do"

 

I believe that there is an extra motor in the fuselage, making it a Five motor plane

 

That extra motor drive a air-compressor that pumps air over the wing flaps, to combat stall when the flaps are at 90 degree.

"Sh!t! What`s happening? I don`t believe it!"

An interesting depiction of just that in this happy-ending video from Dan Gryder. 

 

But if you object to being toyed with for 20 mins  - in the name of 'suspense' - I suggest watching the first minute, jumping to 22:00 for the completion of the forced landing and, if you've a mind to, returning to 'go' for the analysis and discussion with the pilot concerned.
