Indeed, it is a very rare occurance with the PT6 but if your only engine granades just after takeoff your only chance is a suitable cabbage patch. If all you have is trees it is not going to end well.

Sometimes fate deals you a bum hand and there is nothing that the best pilot in the world can do about it.

The interesting part, when the full report is released, will be P&W's analysis of why the engine failed so disastrously.
