[QUOTE= Since he was an airline pilot for 24 years, I doubt he would have confused bank angle with yaw. But certainly one of the staffers may have given him misinformation.
I found that tidbit during the briefing very interesting as well.[/QUOTE]

following the question
"If true it seems like quite a significant roll. What would cause that? "

and answer "yaw"

What Chesty Morgan (of few words) probably meant was that engine failure causes asymmetric loss of thrust which causes yaw towards the failed engine, and the yaw coupled with wing sweepback causes significant ROLL
