ref: power from at least one engine, possibly both.  

Whatever precipitated this accident I suspect the pilot was very frightened and making quick, not necessarily prudent, decisions.   But, that's the way it happens for all of us so let's make sure to have a heart and recognize he flew it to a relatively successful conclusion, irrespective of what the final tally comes about as causation.

If such an event occurs to any of us we would certainly hope and actually require others to be sympathetic and helpful.

Whadayasays?
