Looks like CalFire had an engine flameout on one of their new SUPER powerful Firehawks.  Despite being at sea level and 6000lbs below max gross... they couldn't hover (let alone fly away) and dropped the poor fella on the hoist.  Glad there were no serious injuries.

Really awesome that everyone thinks 2 engines is better than 1.  Did CalFire ever even have an engine failure on their Hueys?
