Narrative:

Landing at XB00 am. At XA30 am the captain called the purser; I was by 2L and picked up the interphone. I heard the captain say we have lost main hydraulics this is a cabin advisory. I told my flying partner and went to first class to ask for the manifest. I wanted to know if we had any crew members onboard. She showed me the manifest and pointed out military jumpseater seated in cabin and says as I was going to them the captain made a PA that we had lost main hydraulics and had 2 backups and expected a normal landing. I went to jumpseater seated in cabin and asked her if she was a pilot with air carrier. She was sitting in an exit row. Then I asked the flight attendant if he would move to the last row. I just wanted all the helpers I can get. The passenger in the last row said yes he would move and told me he was a fire fighter so I did not move him; I instead moved the flight attendant with another passenger into the exit row. We had a safe landing but was in evacuate/evacuation mode. Even on the ground we were leaking fluid and had to be towed to gate because the engines had to be off due to fire even on a sunny day at XB00 am. Be ready.
