It helped that the Captain (I believe) was ex-military and an expert glider pilot. They landed at a mothballed RCAF base that was being used for drag racing. Amazing story.

In addition to the captain's glider experience, the first officer just happened to have served at the RCAF station where they eventually landed. So they had at least a couple of extra things working in the favour that day.
