To answer your question, yes, the 747 can fly just fine with three engines as long as it wasn't an uncontained failure. If you were almost to Alaska I wonder why they would turn back to NRT?
Thank you for your quick response. Between your comforting answer and the FA's free-flowing of Woodford Reserve since the announcement of engine failure I feel a bit more relaxed. Not much, but just a little. As always this forum steps up for help for all travelers. Gotta love it, but still a tad scared. Lol...
