Incident: American B763 over Atlantic on Feb 16th 2018, multiple system failures

An American Airlines Boeing 767-300, registration N397AN performing flight AA-206 from Miami,FL (USA) to Milan Malpensa (Italy),
was enroute at FL330 about 450nm northnorthwest of Lajes Azores Islands (Portugal)
when the crew declared emergency reporting multiple system failures and decided to divert to Lajes.

The aircraft turned onto a southerly heading maintaining FL330,
on approach to Lajes the crew advised they would need the full length of the runway
for rollout and would stop on the runway.

The crew requested busses to meet the aircraft at the apron,
"the aircraft won't be going anywhere."

Arriving at the apron the crew requested the wheels to be chocked,
the brakes would not hold,
the engines were still running,
the ground staff should approach the nose gear.
