Both bird strikes (most likely cause) and flying with an engine down are common.
I'd be willing to bet we wouldn't even know about it if it were a 747.

Sure, the plane has something to do with it and the fact that Quantas has never had a crashed plane too. Both add to the hype. The engine failure would be no issue if it was just a simple shutdown but something exploded causing parts to fall off the plane. We'd here about that on a 747 too.
