That would be an Embraer 145 twin jet
Embraer makes a very good jet and is flown by the connector services of many major airlines.
The aircraft will fly just fine on one engine.
Losing one engine on a multi-engine jet isn't that big of a deal unless pilot error or catastrophic structural damage compounds the situation.

Was the person flying the airplane same driver of the MSU buses?

In conjunction with Honda, MSU built the first Honda jet aircraft. The predecessor to current Hondajet business aircraft (VLJ). The prototype was built at MSU's Raspet flight lab in 1989. The first all composite jet.

And here we are, 26 years later and it's still not certified to fly.
I've been hearing about the Hondajet for as long as I've been paying attention to aviation.

It is certified. Being produced in Greensboro NC

If they got it certified, that's awesome. Last I heard they were still trying to figure it out.

lel, MSU has to fly on a Brazilian plane. Couldn't afford the American or Canadian plane. Poors.

I've got a little over 1000 hours flying the embraer, it is an incredibly well built and safe jet. all the major airlines disagree with you regarding the brazillians because their future regional jets are mostly Embraers, except for American and the CRJ-900.
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.
To summarize, brazillians are awesome and pilots are gods.

I thought the CRJs were common on the other airlines as well (DL and UA, for example).

Thanks for the input

I don't post a ton here, but I'll speak for the entire Razorback nation when I say I'm glad everyone is safe. That's some scary stuff

the people making jokes over this are morons. still remember an Oklahoma state plane crashing a few years ago and several of their basketball players getting killed

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.

This is why I refuse to get on any single engine plane.

Stay away from light twin engine planes then.

Probably the arctic COMO weather to blame

i was on a flight from lafayette to houston (40 minute flight). In the middle of the flight we lost our left engine, i was sitting next to it on the left side. all of a sudden i heard the engine go from a constant noise to a "whommmmmmmmmm, whommmmmm, whommmmmm, whommm, whomm" then silence. it was the most eerie thing ever. people were freaking out then the pilot came on, explained everything, said everything was under control and did a great job calming everyone down.

Watch for the VMC roll on the king air. Especially if the auto feather fails. Watched some poor bastard have that happen to him at KLGB back in 2011 and no one survived.
