Goodyear, AZ. No injuries.
That is one calm/cool CFI. Almost cheerful while announcing an engine failure.

Yeah, definitely points for being calm. And for putting it down on a pretty narrow street.
I'm sure there's a reason why, but IDK why ATC would bother trying to distract a pilot with questions about souls on board at the very end when they've confirmed they won't make the airfield and they're busy trying to put it down off-airport with an engine failure. I think I might have fired off a "STFU" or turned off the radio lol.
 
One cool cucumber right there. Excellent job.
 
That's a great example of how it's done. I pray to be so calm under pressure ...
