Engine failures with Pax

[pppilot]

I heard a Skywest crew declare an emergency due to an engine failure yesterday.
Just curious how common this is/isn't for people haulers.
So who else has had an engine fail with an aircraft full of pax? And did they all clap and cheer as you landed (you know, like in the movies)?

We lost our right engine on a King Air 90 one day over Alabama.

We had six passengers in the back, and they must've thought they were all done with when that right prop went to feather! We reassured them that everything was going to be allright, and that these aircraft are designed to fly on one engine, blah blah blah.

Unlike Hollywood, there wasn't a peep out of the passengers when we landed that day. Just a bunch of white knuckled, pale faced passengers who I had to coax out of their seats once we landed! Things like this just have to happen when your flying the clients who are most afraid of flying, never the experienced "love to fly" clients!

I've only had two in the last 8 1/2 years, both were precautionary shutdowns. Pax were actually really nonchelant, most just wanted to know when they could get back on their way again!
