I'm a pilot and I've flown twin engined planes before.
That being said, who in god's name "accidently" shuts down an engine? There's only two engines there, it's pretty difficult to get confused. Especially when one of said engines is incinerating itself. If you're such an expert, why would someone shutdown a perfectly good engine when the other one was on fire? "Accidently" shutting down one engine is just as improbable as shutting down three engines because both cases are nearly impossible.
I still don't get why you consider twin engines planes less safe because of this one incident. That's an ignorant thing to say.
