I believe the 411 was the worst Cessna twin for engine related accidents on take off. I read a story that Cessna hired test pilot Al White, who survived the XB-70 mid air collision, to demonstrate the aircraft's ability to climb away on one; he landed the aircraft wheels up in a field a mile or two off the end of the runway after problems feathering the prop on the "failed" engine.
