It would be interesting to know if one of the engines had failed during the approach and the specific propellor could (or would) not feather.

Having flown this old type for a short while, it absolutely does not do well with a windmilling (or runaway) prop.

From personal expereince, long ago, during flight test for specific type mods...very nearly went into the drink, off KSBA.
Not good...
