> "planes with two engines have twice as many failures as single engine planes"

There has to be a smart reply to that, like: 100% of pilots of single engine planes don’t make it home after a single engine failure. 100% of pilots of dual engine planes do make it home after a single engine failure.

Planes are natural gliders and you can recover from engine failure. It's not like they just fall out of the sky.

If you lose an engine on a twin engine plane, you have to decide if you have an emergency or not. If you lose an engine on a single engine plane, you have to decide where you can make an emergency landing.
