Another article that you may want to read on this incident.

As for the posts re the aviation writer getting it wrong. This guy has been writing aviation safety articles for longer than some of us have been alive with a very high respect from the industry. I doubt that he would get it wrong now.

Re references to "the engine not operating" take a look at this article.

We did our own removal of the engine and propeller after the investigators and, based on our engineer's advice, believe that one of the engines was not going at the time of the impact.
