I controlled a Royal Squadron BAe146 (the one with the missing oil seals post servicing) with two engines shut down, one at idle and one going flat out in 1997 - it landed safely at Stansted, and the last engine conked just before the stand. Horrible emergency, thankfully resolved without loss of life but it was the worst emergency I ever dealt with in nearly thirty years. The pilots got the Air Force Cross. Having read about this incident all I can say is Captain Sullenberger, you are the master.
