Not sure I'd say "they got it on the ground" -
all aircraft end up on the ground eventually. They were unable to maintain level flight with only one engine and were unable to make it to an airfield - crash landed in a riverbed north of Seattle.
It was a pre-delivery test flight - knowing that it was probably going to be pretty bad, those not involved in actually flying the aircraft went to the very back - they all survived the crash. Those on the flightdeck all perished.
