Delving into the dim and distant reaches of my memory and without wishing to be picky, but I seem to recall, having been told the story on my OCU, it was a 'Practice' EFATO as opposed to 'Simulated'. Followed immediately by an actual FCU failure on the adjacent engine, totally unrecoverable at those speeds. I believe this led to the cessation of Practice EFATOs, especially as they were initiated by the instructor reaching forward and T handling the donk in question.

Standing by to sent to the the naughty step if my recollections are incorrect.
