Had a nasty one last year with an instructor on board thankfully. EFATO in a PA-28 @ about 250'-300'. We all know the rules about 30 degree's each side of the nose but at the airport in question the only thing's in front are a mountain, canal & powerlines. He took control and did a 180 back to the field. We almost made it. Landed short of the perimeter fence on a road, went through the fence which flipped us upside down. Came to rest about 200yds in. The broken wing blocked the door so we kicked the window out and walked away. (Ran like hell actually!) There's nothing like sitting in 100 gal's of avgas to improve your 100m time! The aircraft was written off. Still waiting for the report on the cause.
