The number of thoughtless posts on these forums increases by the day!
The A380 has 50% of all its engines set with thrust reversers,
the 777 has 100% of all its engines set with thrust reversers.
SO, if a 380 goes short of one engine to kick bacwards it isn't
more critical than if a 777 does the same.
On both types thrust reversers isn't a certification minima.
