Twin Couldn't Maintain Altitude Before Freeway Crash Landing

Multi training in light twins is pretty useless unless you plan to only fly light twins. In almost every critical situation the safest course of action is to pull both throttles to idle and land straight ahead. Flying Transport Category multi engine aircraft is a completely different situation with sufficient reserve performance to actually continue a takeoff after an engine failure at V1 and continue safely. If the FAA really believed in ADM and mitigating risk, they would demand that all multi engine training be simulator based allowing for much better and much safer training.
