Listen to ATC dialog with aircraft whose right prop is suddenly detached from the turbine engine...

Wow!

I wonder what damage the propeller did on the ground, if any.

The departed prop likely hit something.  Might have been just trees, but whatever it hit, there is likely damage.  There is a degree of security and safety with multi-engine aircraft that you just cannot get with a single.

It did infact end up in the trees, this was quite some time ago,

The crew earned a safety award for handling the emergency. 

I worked for this company for a while on their 737 op.

They went into vouluntary administration in July, of which, I am now a creditor, Quite an interesting read if you're up for a bit of google research.
