My reaction on reading the Journal article was: what does this mean for ETOPS, the basis of which is that double engine flameouts are so infinitessimally rare as to be statistically insignificant?

The ETOPS statistical model seems to have been proven wrong, but we are already in a long-haul environment in which only three currently produced product families B747/A340/A380 - have more than two donks. Any thoughts?
