It's par for the course that everyone got out alive; were you to know the first thing about Enstroms you'd know they have one of, if not the best safety record of any SE helo.
Quite apart from your baseless assumption that the problem was engine failure.
In which case you seem to be telling us that you think Enstrom builds aircraft engines too!
Wow!
Even when continued OEI flight is possible, often the best outcome possible requires sacrificing the airframe to maximize survival.
"Even when"?
How often does any light twin fail to fly oei once it's accelerated much past translational lift? Only in the most extreme and unusual circumstances, I suggest.
"Often"? Seriously?
Once again more like "in the rarest of cases.."
