And you got mad when the answer by some was "yes".

I did not get mad, I just asked why the answer was 'yes'. Nobody has told me from a technical perspective why it is more difficult to land a plane with one engine. The fact that people were on the plane is not technical.

BTW. I read your links. They all have to do with a failed engine. One that just shuts off. This was completely different.

Engine failure is engine failure. The engine is no longer in service. Doesn't matter if it blew up, fell off, or just died. If evidence comes out that the flats/slats/spoilers/power etc were compromised in the explosion then yes, this is obviously an entirely different conversation. So far I haven't heard of that. It seems like all systems were still functional (minus the engine and that dang window).
