Default Emergency Landing-Engine DEAD

I hate to second guess another pilot who was there and actually had the
accident, but depending on where he was when he lost the engine, my
initial question would be why he crashed at all having a 2000 foot grass
strip to land on. I'm puzzled. If he had any time at all to plan a dead
engine approach into such a strip, he should have made it in there with no
issues at all with a Bo.

Agreed.. did he land short because he did not have final glide to the field
or flew to wide a base to final turn?
Or did he land long because he screwed up his planning for final glide,
turned base too early could not get it down.
