Just to add a little more in the same vein to IcePack at Post#903. The Report on Canberra Accident at RAF Wyton in March 1991 is worth reading. Although heavily redacted, it nonetheless it clearly illustrates that things can go disastrously wrong when an engine fails (is failed) at this stage of flight and is not correctly handled. The report notes that the crew had "considerable experience". I would expand on that to say that the handling pilot; for whom I had the greatest respect; was a very experienced Canberra pilot.

We're all human.
