My husband refuses to fly on turboprops.

That, IMHO, is not a well grounded fear. There's nothing unsafe about turboprops (or recips, for that matter). In this instance, it looks like engine-failure induced yaw is the cause, and that can happen in any multi engine aircraft.

That's what's nice about the rear engines jets, though. Virtually center line thrust. .... All except the MD-80, which is so underpowered they automatically retract the landing lights if they lose engine, because thrust is so marginal the extra drag from the lights would prevent go-around!

Oh, I know. But after the troubles with the ATR turbo's, he's sworn off of them. I get nervous when icing can be a factor.
