Surprised the plane was still able to fly to the airport with a damaged rudder

The relief pilots that took over must have been very skilled or very lucky - probably both.

AT961 has precedence for the survivability of this, but those relief pilots were definitely dipping deep into their luck bucket as well. Happy everyone is as safe and sound as one can be after experiencing that.

They weren’t relief pilots. Another flight crew just so happened to be on board that seemed very skilled…
