I'm sure some of u might remember the tragic incident in the netherlands when the no. 3 engine of a 747 freighter fell off ( rather flew off) at maximum thrust, came back, knocked the no. 4 engine off which completely cripled the right wing, reducing lift capailities. This eventually sent the big bird crashing into an occupied appartment block killing the crew and people on the ground. These accidents are the same, just with different outcomes. I suppose it depends on the curcumstances really.
