American 191 was actually a perfectly flyable airframe, after the engine came off they de-accelerated from 165kn to the stipulated engine out speed of 153kn where upon the left wing stalled, had they not de-accelerated a safe circuit would have been possible. The crew were blameless, they followed the book. Work colleague was on board.
Less Hair, I'd assume a smoking hole rather than the highly successful handling by the crew.
