what is not nice is being near the ground when the power goes,
We train for engine failure after take off in the little planeswith only one engine.

From 200 feet, with no engine, you have maybe 10-15 seconds before you land, so I agree with Rog747

With multiple engines in an airliner, the probability is lower, but we have had a cluster of events recently.

The very high standards of training for airline pilots have shown their value in these incidents.
