Asymmetric thrust violently yaws twin engine aircraft

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Losing an engine on one side of a jet does not just drop your speed; it aggressively tries to spin you in a circle. With massive forward thrust only pushing from one wing, the entire aircraft is violently shoved sideways into an extreme yaw. Pilots must drastically stomp on the opposite rudder just to force the plane to fly remotely straight.
