What good for the goose is good for the gander? This incindent illustrates the paradox of proponents of extending the current ETOPS limits. Here we have one group who favor two engines over three or more saying it is not safe to fly on one less engine but at the same time singing praises of the benefits of two engines. Unless it is fact that a B747 is less safe than a B777. By the way I have nothing against ETOPs except when used to further profits at the expense of safety.
