I have to agree with D.Kenyon, mind you the situation was different from the video, didn't loose anything but simply stop working. My reaction was to pick up speed right away, i had speed to start with, just got some more and the aircraft straightened itsel or just about and went back to the airport for a successful running landing. Lucky me it was winter and the airstrip was gravel and hard pack snow. Took a while before stopping but it did before the ditch.
Aircraft was a FH1100.
