Forced landings
Two previous accidents, both oddly enough with twin engined aeroplanes...
1. Cessna 402 (the model with tip tanks)
Fuel exhaustion close to KVNY years ago, landed on a street, exactly between two unoccupied school busses, shed both tip tanks (as it was built and designed to do) and rolled to a stop.
No injuries.
2. Tradewind modified twin Beech (PT-6 engines) suffered a dual engine failure (actual failure, plenty of fuel onboard) on approach to a busy east coast airport, and the aeroplane was 'landed' in a very big tree (and stayed there, until removed by crane)...severe aircraft damage, no injuries.
Both, very lucky folks.
When the engine(s) fail, sometimes you can be fortunate...sometimes not.
Luck of the draw, with a little skill many times the deciding factor.
