The pilot had just completed one practice circuit and was taking off for a second circuit when the left engine failed. The aircraft was about 20 feet above ground level and the landing gear was still extended. The pilot feathered the left propeller but then decided to land on the remaining part of the runway. He attempted to lower the flaps, but was unsuccessful as the left engine was required to operate the hydraulic pump. After touchdown, the aircraft overshot the runway and entered an area of long, thick grass. The aircraft came to rest with the nose gear collapsed and a fire broke out in the area of the left engine.
