OK so we had an engine failure on takeoff.
Simplistically speaking, now we are just an L-1011, MD-11, or DC-10 , and still better off than a pristine B777, A330, B767 etc if we have another failure.
The odds against a second failure are what allows big twins to fly over the oceans. If you are willing to go transAtlantic or transPacific or other ETOPs in a twin, whats the problem with a triple?
