I'm sure the answer is online somewhere, but I prefer the SAMB knowledgebase. Does the Saab 340 have counter-rotating props, or do they both spin clockwise or anti-clockwise? My recollection from the last time I sat in a seat next to a prop was that they both spin clockwise.

I only ask because of the reported trajectory of the prop after the shaft sheared: it is said to have gone up and assumed a horizontal plane like a Frisbee before drifting off in the wind to its final resting place. Missing the fuselage and control surfaces was incredibly lucky, but what would have happened if the prop had come off the left engine? Or are there just too many variables/vectors at work to be able to predict anything?
