I'm sure the fact that they had no hydraulics, the gear stuck down and only half a wing were rather more significant factors than the loss of thrust in two engines. Perhaps Jon Modrey would like to consider the Sioux City DC10 which only lost thrust in one engine but still didn't fly too well without any hydraulics. Of course, if Concorde was made and certified in America this subject wouldn't even have been raised!
