I didn't bring up about the 146 and 777, that was someone else.
It was a joke.
IF you take one engine type, like I mentioned before the CFM56 as an example, and say just for this discussion it has a failure rate on average of 1 failure in every 100,000 hours.
Now this following example is ridiculous, but I cannot believe that some still don't get it, so it is necessary.
Assume there is one aircraft fitted with 2 of these CFM56s, and another aircraft fitted with 100 of them.
PLEASE PLEASE tell me you agree that there is more chance of ONE engine failing at any given time on the 100 engined aircraft as opposed to the 2 engined aircraft.
Of course there is way more chance of ALL engines failing on the 2 engined aircraft than on the 100 engined aircraft.
