No idea why the engine quit, but it apparently did. Setting it down on a street in a city without hitting anything is good. Maybe we'll find out later what caused the power loss so we can draw and quarter the guilty party. But however it happened, the result was better than most of the alternatives. Until someone proves she caused this herself, the benefit of any doubt goes to the pilot.
