Prestwick and simulated engine failures are not a good combo

Boeing 707-436 G-APFK (17712/164) British Airtours [year built: 1960]
occupants: 4 crew + 0 passengers = 4.
fatalities: 0 crew + 0 passengers = 0.
Training Take-off
A no.1 engine failure was simulated by retarding the throttle on take-off. The aircraft tended towards the left, forcing the instructor to take over control. The no.1 engine nacelle then struck the runway. The aircraft yawed and rolled violently to the right, sank back on the runway and pivoted sideways down the runway. The undercarriage collapsed and the engines were torn off.
PROBABLE CAUSE: "A loss of control which resulted from a delay in taking full corrective action during a simulated outboard engine failure exercise during take-off."

occupants: 2 crew + 0 passengers = 2.
fatalities: 2 crew + 0 passengers = 2.
Training Take-off
An engine failure was simulated during take-off. The aircraft climbed steeper than normal with the gear still extended. Ten seconds airborne, the co-pilot was attempting to find out which engine was simulated failed. The pilot reminded the co-pilot about the gear and retracted it. The stall warning horn sounded and the pilot took over control within 2 seconds and added power on the retarded engine. The Jetstream continued to roll to the right and struck the ground inverted.
