Prolly, if you lean to one side and open the throttle.

How far can a 747 fly with one engine?
"All the way to the scene of the crash."

You should try a reactor scram at ****** feet in a sub and no option for emergency blow.

We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped.
I seriously doubt,the captain said that on the PA system. Especially while trying to regain control of the aircraft.
This does beg the question of two engine transoceanic aircraft.

I used to travel on 777’s to and from Asia. It was always in the back of my mind what would happen if 1 of the 2 engines failed

Then there’s the story of the Boeing 747 on a transatlantic flight from Paris.
1 hour in the captain came on the intercom and told everyone that they had lost an outboard engine. They were not to worry, but it would take and extra 30 minutes before they could make it to New York.
30 minutes later, the captain came back on the speakers and announced that they had lost the outboard engine on the other side. Still, they were not to worry, because the plane could easily fly on two engines. But there would be an additional delay of 45 minutes getting into New York.
20 minutes after that a third message was relayed. They had lost one of the inboard engines. Still, there was no concern since the airplane could be flown on one engine, but it would take an additional 1 hour to make it to New York.
At that point, one of the passengers turned to the person in the seat next to him. “If we lose that last engine, we could be up here all night!”

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them going again. I trust you are not in too much distress.

Don’t know why but this reminds me of the ground crew employee up in Washington, Seatac I think, where he stole and flew a Horizon turbo prop aircraft while putting on mind bending maneuvers, some of which were videoed. .
