At 400' on landing a two=engine "heavy" is about 30 seconds from touchdown. And most likely still on autoland. So with losing thrust on one side the pilot has 30 seconds to figure out what the problem is, take control of the aircraft which is already yawing and losing altitude, determine where he is with respect to the end of the runway and correct everything and land safely. All the while you are having fun with your little toy.
