Engine failures

Hi 4 single engine landings in twin engine aeroplanes in nearly 20 years or 10000 hrs.3 in turboprops & 1 heavy jet.One complete turbine failure with shards of metal entering the fuselage.Lucky only a freighter.On shutdown swinging prop of good engine noticed blood & feathers around airinlet.Other 2 just in flight shutdowns due low oil pressure.Believe me you always carry a few more knots on final when you are on one engine for real.Heavy jet no problem.
