Also, while losing an engine can turn into an ugly situation it's usually a non-event. I'm training right now on the King air and we practiced 3 engine cuts today (one was a fire) and everything was just fine. I know real life is different then a sim but the point is we are exposed to this exact situation 100s of times over our career.

I would not say it is a non-event, but it is something that is trained for by the pilots and is something that jets a certified to fly under those circumstances. Losing a engine and shutting down an engine are two separate events and the FAA follows up on both of them.
