Glad To see you on the ground safe.

Notice how calm and collected the pilot was as opposed to the other post with the pilot freaking out.  At least this pilot sends important information to ATC about what's actually happening.  GOOD JOB!!! Glad all was well.

Yeah, and it's good he was able to do so, but there's a world of difference between the two situations - here, sure he lost an engine, but he could see and was in control of the aircraft. It was a matter of continuing to do what he was already doing (and he did an admirable job of that!!). The other guy was out of his element, he did not have control, his situation was degrading beyond his ability to cope with it, and he was actively in the process of crashing, as far as he knew. Don't think we can criticise him for being stressed - but as stressed as he was, he was able to reel it back in!

Very cool
