A330-200 flameout / relight of both engines on approach

[tdracer]

If you loose two engines during takeoff, on anything short of a B-52 you're probably going to have a really bad day - the extra engine(s) just mean you have slightly more control over where you're going to crash.

22 September 1995 crash of a United States Air Force Boeing E-3 Sentry airborne early warning aircraft with the loss of all 24 people on board.[1] The aircraft, serial number 77-0354 with callsign Yukla 27, hit birds on departure from Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska, United States. With the loss of thrust from both of the left engines the aircraft crashed into a wooded area less than a mile from the end of the runway.

If having more than two engines made the aircraft inherently safer, you'd expect to see that in the fatal hull loss statistics. Yet the 747-400 rate is more than twice what it is for the 757, 767, 777, or A330 (and you don't even want to ask about the MD-11).
