I agree - I really think the time has come to stop this thread creep, which I believe is becoming as irrelevant as it is stagnant. The topic is the BA LAX-LHR flight on 3-engines - and not two, one or four!
IMHO, those who wish to pursue the theory of probabilities as it applies (or doesn't) to engine failures, need to do so in another thread.
