Cri-Cri aircraft

Most twins have a minimum single engine speed. The CriCri is no exception.
If your engine quits on take-off before that speed you have very few
options. Red took the option of putting it back on the ground.

I know the pilot of that accident and he purposely put it on the ground
in
front of the crowd rather than stagger around and possibly get over the
crowd and hit someone. He has ALL the ratings and is ex-military, a very
capable pilot.

Is the design uncontrollable on one engine? Why did he prang it?
