Modern two engine aircraft are amazingly reliable, but there are rare cases where they have lost both engines. BA Flight 38 crash landed on approach to Heathrow due to ice in the fuel clogging heat exchangers for both engines.

- jabl 6y agoYes, but would more engines have helped in that case? If that problem stopped both engines, chances are the same problem would have stopped all 4 engines on a 4 engine plane as well. So you'd need to look at cases where independent failures cause both engines on a twin engine plane to fail. I'd guess those are quite rare.
