Just out of interest, I've not flown this type before and can't identify the aural warning in the background which seems to coincide with the engine failure and seems to be on all the way down. Fire seems to be the obvious one can anyone confirm that?
The first tone is the Engine Out. The second one seems to be generated from the police department radio. I doubt the 333 has a fire-warning
anything.

On the footage I thought I heard the engine surge and saw the ac yaw before the bang ....anyone else notice?
Hard to tell from the two times I saw it, but there does seem to be a lot of yaw instability in that ship. Are all 333's that bad?. Was one of those left swings due to the engine-failure? Can't say. You can definitely hear the generator noise surging, but it doesn't begin to wind down until
after the one big left yaw.
All in all, it took about thirty seconds from failure to touchdown. Seemed like an eternity while watching it. Probably a lot less from the vantage point of the crew.
Great job by the pilot. Too bad the wires didn't show up on the FLIR.
