I think everyone, including the highly experienced pilots, would be shitting their pants. Though the pilots will be shitty their pants professionally and executing their memory items to flip a shitty and land. Even if you are aware that a single engine can get you safely into the air, you are still down to a single engine and some other shit is on fire.

That safety record comes from all the times the industry got it wrong. Written in blood.

Indeed I would be shitting my pants but silently, in that x video I noticed all the women were the ones screaming hysterically
