Actually back in the late 60's the ranch manager lost the turbo on a TU206, during takeoff, and landed in the meadow just below the lip of the runway, no injuries. As for a loaded Islander, the same options exist. Depending on how high you are when it fails, you do have quite a bit of meadow before the creek narrows up and falls off the basin in a real steep narrow canyon that you could follow to the river, but then you just have the main Salmon River stem which is very deep, fast, and narrow. No real good choices. GWD.

Whoa. Is there aything you can sensibly do when you lose an engine just after takeoff?
Anyway, great video again, thanks for sharing!
