What I was trying to say was, the greater the number of engines on an aircraft, the greater the risk of experiencing one of these non-benign engine failures that would result in a catastrophic outcome.
Agree
The problems generally occur during the landing phase mostly due to workload increases.
There is not much data on enroute problems with multiple engines as I have said before, but just studying the crew responses in all phases of flight leads me to suspect that twins are not any less safe then quads and quads certainly have more engine annomalies per flight
