But I hope that you rather risk a stall/spin than to hit a crowd of
pedestrians with that meat chopper turning.

I thought the engine had stopped?

The prop will often keep turning after the engine has stopped - unless
you can feather it. (I have flown singles with feathering propellors,
but they are the exception).

There are also degrees of engine failure other than quitting dead -
sometimes, an engine may continue to make a minimal amount of power
after the failure event occurred.

No, don't think the engine quit. They said it was smoking on takeoff,
and witnesses who saw it come down described how the engine sounded, so
it apparently was still running.

Just out of morbid curiosity, how do you even manage to get yourself
motivated to post? It can't be fun for you any more after making a fool
of yourself so many times, can it? In fact the last two days have been
so horrible for you, you just had to dig back to Tuesday to find a post
you could reply to without embarrassing yourself so much even you can't
stand it. Pretty sad considering your lack of self respect.

Seriously. Why do you bother? You can't honestly believe anyone sees you
as anything but a clown any more, can you? Don't you have anything you
could be doing that would be a bit less of a nightmare for you, like
burning yourself with lit cigarettes or finger painting with your own
feces?
