Narrative:

The captain called me stating that there is an engine failure and we would be landing in 2 mins. I was not advised to prepare the cabin. I did see the propeller had stopped and one or two passengers did see that as well. Everyone for the most part was calm. However we all were extremely hot. There was no medical emergency on board. I ensure everything was stowed; seatbelt securely fastened. We landed safely and everyone deplaned normally.
