Four injured, 2 critically, in South African Airlink J41 crash  

 

Four people were injured, two critically, in the crash of a South African Airlink Jetstream 41 turboprop Thursday. The aircraft had just departed Durban on a positioning flight to Pietermaritzburg when the crew declared an emergency due to an engine failure. The airplane crashed near a school perimeter shortly after. Both pilots were injured critically, and a flight attendant suffered serious injuries. An employee working on the school’s grounds was also slightly injured. There were no passengers aboard.

How does the loss of ONE engine at take-off cause an empty, twin engined turboprop (at sea altitude) to crash?

This aircraft (even loaded) should be able to 'go around' and land on one engine.
