Take a deep breath folks. While the media loves to bump up the music and blare the sirens the fact is that the 747 and many like it can fly with two engines out.

They’ll be fine. It is simply standard procedure that an emergency MUST be declared and the equipment MUST be rolled out.

Actually with three engines we are allowed to continue to our destination. Just not a great idea.
