Wait...as an uneducated pilot wannabe...if only one engine died, can't modern jets fly with one/the other engine?


not when they are already flying at the absolute limit of slow speed maintained by the two engines

Nope, asymmetrical thrust is a killer at that altitude and airspeed. You're better to have no engines in that situation, at least you could land straight ahead rather than dropping a wing and nosing over.
