Dudes... What is all that uninformed drivel about? He lost the number two donk in hot and high conditions. Somebody did not do the proper take-off calculation math, so he could not maintain airspeed. Eventually he could not maintain direction. Vmca roll to the right and bang. All that blabber that the hero pilot requested a non standard turn to the right is nonsense. That's where the city and the high terrain is. No point of going there. He would have loved to go left, but ran out of rudder authority.
