I find the A380 accidents quite fascinating. If there is a plane I want to lose an engine on it’s one with four on it for sure. :)

Technically, the Osprey can loose one engine and continue to fly too. They have linkage connecting each engine to the other rotor specifically for this.

A380 can loose only one engine and fly, same as smaller planes, they can loose an engine and land.

Modern airliners can glide tens miles with complete loss of power. (It's why they have RATs [1].)
