It had 2 engines. VERY unlikely both failed. One engine is enough to land safely. Two engine failures can be caused by the ‘wrong’ type of fuel or switching the fuels off. But this is unlikely.
Because the pilot gave a MAYDAY call, he possible had control at that time. BUT the height of the aircraft was only 100 feet because it had just taken off.
The pilots worst nightmare: ‘EFATO’, Engine Failure After Take Off. All pilots, either one engine or two, are trained to cope with this EFATO problem.
