Could someone please confirm or otherwise whether or not there was an accident in an FTC aircraft ZS-ONA fairly recently. I heard that they were practising engine failure after take off but when they attempted to apply power to go around, nothing happened so it became a real engine failure after take off. Have an interest in this as I flew it a while back and when I was doing the run up checks, it died. Instructor just said 'it happens sometimes on this one' in a nonchalant manner. Thought at the time it wasn't a good attitude - looks like that attitude could have caused a serious accident. As it is the N1 had to be closed to get it off the ground.
