Rookie Question

Pse excuse Cabin Crew question.

If a heavy 747 lost on a three engine ferry sector (as above) were to lose a second engine on the same side as the other one, say during the initial climb, would it stay airborne? I can understand that it can fly on three, or even two, but two on the same side at a high weight and relatively low speed? - just curious and thanks for any response.

P.S. My a/c types just have the two, so I don't think we do single engine ferries, or else we do but they don't tell us!
