While dramatic, a single engine failing on a commercial flight is not really all that big of a deal, there is a reason they are built with a large amount of redundancy.

According to this the failure rate for the whole industry is about 1 every 375000 flight hours.

This is very back the napkin math, but there are roughly 100k commercial airline pilots in the usa alone, and about 3 pilots per plane. So if they are doing more than 9hours of flight each you’d except one of them to experience an engine failure.

I’m not saying Boeing doesn’t have some problems, the 737max should put some key decision makers in Jail, but these sorts of articles are just feeding into confirmation bias.
