United Flight 93, What actually happened ? [somewhat edited by JT]

I am not a pilot, while doing some research, I have some questions for professional commercial pilots. I would highly appreciate your help:

1. How hard is it to fly a Boeing 757 with only one engine?

2. If a plane flying at 7000 ft, 500 mph, suddenly lost one engine and decending. How long does it take the plane to drop to 6000 ft, and 5000 ft, comparing to a free fall? (It takes 11 seconds for a free fall to drop 2000 ft. )

If you are a professional pilot who would like to help me with an very important research, please email me: [email protected]

Thank you.
