It's more to do with the relative consequences. A car engine goes out and you cal AAA, an airplane engine goes out and you have a serious problem.

  If you have at least two engines on your plane, one failing ain't so bad?

    As the saying goes, when you have an engine failure in a twin, the remaining engine takes you to the crash site faster. ;)
