The Boeing 777 that went into Heathrow with non responsive engines last week has a wingspan of 199 ft but flight 009 the 747-236b that lost all four engines on 24 June 1982 after flying into a cloud of volcanic ash spent 15 minutes without power. That ships wingspan is 195 ft and it outweights the Me by a factor of about 10 I think  Tootell, Betty (1985). All Four Engines Have Failed. Andre Deutsch. ISBN 0-330-29492-X. Ian

That ships wingspan is 195 ft and it outweights the Me by a factor of about 10 I think I wouldn't accept the 747 because it didn't land deadstick, and as for the 777, "nonresponsive" is not "non-functioning". Even at flight idle, the thrust of a jet engine is substantial. rj

Just because 009 couldn't thermal away and had to fire up the turbos even though he had a volcano kicking off a core.
