The safety record for engine out light twins is historically poorer than many think. Loss of one engine in a light twin does not mean (generally) that one has ample time to continue the flight to exercise more choice in a landing site. It means, Mayday and land immediately.

Also, the first thing ATC will do (generally, assuming the problem is not comm. related) is assign a new and discrete freq to the troubled a/c.
It isn't good procedure to focus attention on one a/c when the main frequency cares for many, neither does it serve the emer. a/c.
