I normally listen to what you have got to say but this time I have to say I agree with Cloud1 to a point. Your post/posts were rather dramatic, and even though you stated "and/or in flight shut down" you are continuing with the "engine failure" for effect. You are indeed not in possession of the facts so you do not know whether they were full engine failures or in flight shut downs. Being a pilot yourself you will know there is a distinct difference between the two. I'll give you a clue, there were more IFSD than engine failures. You do the maths.
