SURPLUS
I've looked back and can't see anywhere I indicated turning into a dead engine was impossible.
AS a multi engine instructor I've taught turns in both directions and demonstrated them in both directions.
What I said was that a pilot who was not on top of things might make things worse.
And, as far as knowing an engine quit, published reports have indicated that a radio "MAYDAY" to the control tower indicated an engine failure.
It is possible someone made an engine failure worse by not responding correctly.
