One of the engines lost hydraulics and the wrong engine was turned off
as a precaution after arrival due to the warning indicators.....

Hey, you rittle Ryobi, the old post is more than 4 months old, hence the new one. 8)

It's still an amazing incident to watch. Has the NTSB released a report yet?

From what I can remember break failure was reported in flight, then regained break pressure , they landed and they were taxing to the gate, and hydraulic pressure was lost, and so was breaking. I heard he was distracted momentarily when the hydraulic pressure went out and that helped him gain speed.

This is all that I can remember from it.

just thought of something, why the hell would they shut down an engine after suffering a partial hydraulic failure?

well, lots of unanswered questions so was there an NTSB report or is it pending?

I'm pretty sure it is standard procedure in a DC-9.
