Default Engine Out on Take-Off Caught On Tape

Well, MP3 to be specific in the archives section of liveatc.net.
http://www.liveatc.net/archive.php. go to KFRG on Nov 15 and choose the
1200-1230 file.

A Mooney 84U is cleared to take-off at about 2 min 20 sec into the file. At
3 min 45 sec he says he has a problem with the engine and is "going down."
The tower controller (it was Rene for those familiar) does a great job of
clearing the traffic without even the slightest hesitation. It was like he's
done this a hundred times. Definitely an interesting listen.
