Gargleblaster has a point; if the 1011 has no takeoff redundancy in an engine-out ferry, then a twin is no worse. The only essential difference is that the TriStar can use 50% of available thrust at brake release. The twin needs another couple hundred meters before reaching VMCG and applying TO thrust.

I don't think the DC-10 is so critical in this condition. But then its wing engines are not so far outboard as the 1011's.
