I lost the right engine in a PA-23-160 Apache just after takeoff. Low and slow and nowhere to go. The damn thing wouldn't climb cuz I was on a ferry flight and very heavy. It took everything I had to keep it out of the trees long enough to try to put it down in a farm field. Now it's in a junkyard in STL. I got to spend a month in the hospital after two hours waiting to be cut out of the beast. Anyway the feds told me that I deserved a medal for not killing anyone, myself included.
If what the diner guy said is correct then this guy probably didn't have much of a chance at all.

hey, is there an 'I survived an engine failure on T-O club"?
Both of my partners and a passenger got to see one shut down after liftoff at night one winter, taking off from a small airport in Minnesota.jbDC9 said:Umm, yeah, sure, got my membership card around here somewhere... I guess I got lucky by losing one on a 310R, fairly lightweight on a cool morning. That thing climbed right up, around the patch and got my butt back on the ground in one piece. Nice to have 285 hp each side...
