Engine Shutdowns

G'day,

I am from the marine world and would like to ask a question of any Pilots who have flown large commercial airliners. I am currently involved with a gas turbine installation with engines very similar to that fitted to large aircraft.

My questions are: -

- If, say, on take off or landing one of the aircraft's engines lost oil pressure to its bearings would the engine shutdown or would it continue to run until catastrphic failure ocurred?

- Can the Pilot override an engine shutdown in any circumstances?

Any information greatfully recieved.
