X2.

That's got to be a really, really bad feeling when both your engines drop offline and you only have a couple of hundred feet of altitude to work with. I'm not a pilot but I'm guessing you have to make a decision very quickly, you don't have a lot of choices, and you better make the right decision cause you ain't going to get a second chance.

Seems like the pilot did a great job, I'll have two beers in his honor.
