You would probably have to count US1549, even though the cause was environmental there would have been a remote chance that an additional engine might have retained sufficient thrust to get the aircraft to a suitable (there's that word again) field. Against that, how many hull losses have resulted from a single catastrophic failure of or around an engine? UA232, LY1862,QF32 (almost) for a start. Having more engines that could save you
No idea why threads degenerate into number of engines after an event
Nobody adds engines purely for redundancy. They are added for performance reasons.
Given that the number of engines is performance based, that the more engines the more failure combinations per flight and once you start adding the loss of more than a single engine you're going to be performance limited far more often te US1549 event.and in the news more often.
If you just feel more comfortable with more engines than maybe they ought to add a syllabus to training to certify a pilots ability to handle multiple engine outs in takeoff bird ingestions etc.
