Well, that's a single engine recip approach. With multiple
turbines, multiple simultaneous engine failure is pretty difficult
to achieve I guess - unless you screw up the fuel situation.

It has been done with 767s, Airbusteds, P3s and C-130s. It only
takes a small error and then to not check properly. IE, report
fuel loaded in lbs and have the number close to what the crew
expect in Kgs.
