Fly Safe Yall
i agree with you 100%. this was a very RARE and almost Impossible scenario, but it did happen. however keeping it standard that day would have spelt disaster. a good pic can weed out the "ok we can handle this" from the "we wont make it in the air". and like you said in 99.9999999% of the time you take it into the air. even if the engine blew up, or caught on fire or whatever, the plane is built to fly single engine, and i seriously doubt the plane couldn't last the 20 minutes it would take to secure the engine, and bring it back around for landing.
