If you hear a bang and/or get fire indications, and the approach remains stable, and I am in the back, I think I would like you to continue the approach please!

(OK, in reality of course I would like you to use your professional judgement, but I wonder when it's better to go back into the sky with unknown damage, possible fuel or hydraulic fluid leaks, possible fire developing, even possible puncture to the fuselage and passenger injury, if the landing still appears possible, just because you lost an engine. Let's go back up there and work another bunch of checklists so that we can do a 1 engine out landing by the book, seems a bit dubious)
