I only know of this (uncontrolled roll) because a buddy of mine got our crew (we were flying Navy P-3C's) into the C-5 simulator at Travis AFB. Every time they failed an engine on us, we shut it down, like the P-3 and we could not keep the aircraft flying. Those AF guys got a kick out of us trying to fly that big thing 3 engine. Finally, they told us never to shut anything down til on the runway or in a descent to landing. Piece of cake. That was eons ago. Modern aircraft today can fly on one engine just fine.
