If I'm not mistaken, in order to fly across an ocean, doesn't the plane have to be able to continue flight with an engine. I thought the Boeing 777 can fly with only one engine.

Well, yes, it was certified to fly 180 mins of flying time on one engine to be able to fly safely to the nearest available airport in the event that one engine fails.
