All very possible. Rear-mounted engine a/c such as the DC-9 can tolerate the physical loss of an engine loss better than wing-mounted engine a/c. Sometime in the past 10-15 years, a DC-9 family a/c (either a DC-9 or M-80) lost power in an engine. The a/c made a routine one-engine-out landing and only after landing was the lost engine noticed.
