We had acquaintances who lost their engine. Unfortunately it was a cloudy day. Their plane (no, I don’t remember exactly what type it was) had the ability to glide down, but they couldn’t see until they were so close to the ground, that they couldn’t adjust to miss the trees. Husband wife and dog, all gone. Happily, they missed the church nearby, where the children were all outside. Very tragic and traumatic for family and friends. Being able to glide is a good thing, except in bad weather, and then it doesn’t matter.
Interesting but engine loss is something we practice all the time. . .as real-world engine failures do happen:

Personally, lost a few engines during my day.
Entertaining and “fun”. . .most of my engine loss incidents were due to bird strikes.
