Loud bang at the back - C of G still in limits or at least controllable - Perhaps though not yet stated is uncommanded yawing - Land quick is the message - Field within auto reach - Go man go - Looks like a soft field - Go for zero speed touchdown, Check agreed - Final briefs on the way down.
Auto with power on - at the bottom, pull pitch - A/C starts yawing - Second pilot already briefed and does - snaps power off - yaw stops - A/C settles - Everyone gets out take after photos and medications.

If Sasless hadn't done that at the very least in his sim instructing days I'll eat my hat.
