(New hire on the flight line, improperly supervised, fueled his plane with jet fuel. Both quit over very rough terrain.)

Wow. What type of aircraft was he flying?

An Aerostar.

Imagine one engine quits and a highly experienced pilot jams full rudder to the good engine side to hold it straight, ailerons just enough to keep it level and the other engine suddenly quits wile he is busy feathring and securing the dead engine.

And suddenly the other one quits.

It would be upside down before you could blink...or so I would expect.
