"This is unfortunately too common: shutting down the wrong engine in an emergency. In a rush a mistake is made and it proves fatal. It killed a friend of mine in Afghanistan. Doesnt mean they were bad pilots. They were human. The best thing you can do in an emergency is to take a deep breath and do nothing at first calm yourself *then* take a look at whats going on (we called this hacking the clock). You analyze the situation. Is it really what you think it is After determining what needs to be done you move slowly & deliberately. You confirm each action with the other pilot: Confirm engine"

"True but there are many caveats to what Autoland (& automation) can do. In the XXX the maximum autoland headwind is XX knots crosswind XX knots tailwind XX knots. For a human the same limits are: headwind (no limit) crosswind XX knots (varying down to XX knots on ice) tailwind XX knots. In addition virtually all equipment on the airplane must be operational; if you were to lose an engine or a hydraulic system or even one of the radio altimeters autoland is useless. If humans lose one of those systems we just land the airplane. Ive also seen a fully functional autoland come down"
