A fair point, A4, but even with only one engine, it flies, and is controllable.

Then again, I expect you would declare an emergency if the donk quit, in order to get appropriate handling from ATC and preferential landing position, so maybe I'm being unfair to the journos on this one.

To my way of thinking, if you have one engine, and it quits, you have an emergency. If you have multiple engines, and one quits, you have a malfunction, but you are still flying. (Yes, it's a major malfunction ...)
