Can’t a 747 fly with mutiple engine failure? Just wondering.

I think Boeing intended for it to be able to marginally fly on two. It should be fine with three still going.

I believe that is why the 747 is used trans-Pacific, there are not many places to land. It should do fine with one or even two out.
