Too bad no pics can be posted here. I have a pic of the left engine and prop.......the pic would put a different spin than some are alluding to.
The King Air crash in Hawaii,though a different model, was a similar scenario, a left rollover soon after takeoff. Is it just me, or are there a lot of BKA engine failures?
Also, how do you get a short to medium range aircraft from California to Hawaii? The Hawaii crash aircraft was a former California resident.

Fly from Alaska. Distance is the same but the winds can be better, particularly westbound.
Two scenarios require decreasing the pitch: failure of one engine and stall. If you are at Vyse and lose an engine you will go below Vyse if you don't decrease pitch. Fundamental law of aerodynamics. This sounds like either a Vmc roll over or an uncoordinated stall. Both of which are pilot error sadly. The King Air is a wonderful airplane, but just like aviation in general is terribly unforgiving of carelessness, error, and neglect. Hope the NTSB can make a proper determination as to the cause of this tragic event.
Let me know how you would handle a gear box failure.......I’m pretty sure Chuck Yeager himself couldn’t recover from that one.
