That's what I was thinking.
I was on my first night cross country lesson back in 1991 from Teterboro
to Stewart (AF reserve base). We checked in with Stewart tower and
heard a C-141 declare an emergency due to an engine shutdown. My old
salty instructor groaned something about the dreaded three engine
landing and later went on to tell me a bunch of old tales like the
"Dreaded Seven Engine Landing". That night I did three touch and goes
without turning. Stewart's runway is so long it's listed as an
alternate landing site for the Space Shuttle.

LOL. Reminds me of the anecdote about the "dreaded 7 engine landing".

>From another forum:
An F-111 was flying escort with a B-52 and generally making a nuisance
of himself by flying rolls around the lumbering old bomber. The message
for the B-52 crew was, "Anything you can do, I can do better." Not to
be outdone, the bomber pilot announced that he would rise to the
challenge, however, the B-52 continued flying straight and level.
Perplexed, the fighter pilot asked, "So? What did you do?" "We just
shut down two engines."
