Pretty interesting story. A Aerostan 747 had an engine fire/ failure after departing Macau airport. At about 10k feet, one of the four engines failed. The 747 dumped fuel and landed back at Macau. After inspection, the 747 flew out of Macau with only three engines- a "ferry" flight to Biskek, for assembly a replacement engine.
This is the first time I have read about a commercial airliner being approved for takeoff with one of its engines not functional. Maybe this is common- I just never have heard of it.
