I can at least understand the trap the C-5 crew fell into; in the heat of the moment getting confused about which engine had failed and said confusion coupled with confirmation bias and such leading to them not catching that they'd pulled power on the wrong engine. In the C-130 crash, they correctly identified the failed engine and had successfully feathered the failed engine. Given that it was Day VMC at a relatively light Gross Weight, success should have been a foregone conclusion.

Yeah, I know. That wasn't really a serious comment.
