This sounds strange because the aircraft is designed to take off perfectly well with any one of the 4 engines out. Was the crash maybe caused by some other factor as well? One engine being inoperative (whether intentionally or otherwise) surely shouldn’t cause a crash like that?

I will try find out more information. I think that it was in the USA.
