It's going to depend how close to Vlof and where you lose the second engine. And what obstacles you have in front of you. If you have no obstacles you will probably be okay as long as you can get to Vlof with two engines.

By the way, the Concorde that crashed was one of the few certified to take off with two engines. It wasn't the lack of thrust that got them, the fire cooked the hydraulics and he lost control. What, you think he steered into that hotel with a nice field right next to it?
