And the sad thing is: it really happened that way. Information on that flight and crash can be found on the internet. If Howard Hughes were a real trained test pilot, he would've cut off that engine after trying to feather it. Only the sequence of the wheel ploughing through the roof was done in slo-mo.
What didn't happen was the ground controller instructing to raise gear, that never happens on a maiden flight. Howard did it himself.
