They managed about an 11:1 glideslope, but the flight crew had no
documentation on optimal glide speed for a 767 (they just guessed 220
kias), and they left the engines windmilling.

Can you feather or otherwise stop a turbofan? The compressor seems
to spin around by itself even in a slight breeze on the ground.
