Thanks for the video Don! As it is only a four motor drone, I would assume it still has some limited ability for control if one engine is lost?
If the quads I fly are any indication if one goes out, Newton wins and down it comes. With hex and octos they can lose up to 3 and still land safely depending on other factors, with a quad the odds are not so good.

Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. - Thomas Paine, 1/10/1776
