the right engine was secured for evacuation purposes. They did not want

The aircraft is a high wing twin. The props appear to clear the

AFTER the landing.

I think the Navy would hang someone from the yardarm (if they still
have em) if someone stowed a perfectly good, taxpayer supplied turbine
engine with 25 passengers..
