If you pay for the sim time, I'd love to.

A quick web search didn't turn up much of anything relevant to a 747
loosing
both engines on one side (besides flame wars and trolling). I'm sure

United Airlines flight 811 (Boeing 747) from Sydney to Los Angeles via
Honolulu on February 24, 1989

"....After leaving Honolulu, on a flight from Los Angeles to Sydney,
Australia, the loss of an improperly latched forward lower lobe cargo
door resulted in explosive decompression and loss of power in the No. 3
and 4 engines. Nine passengers were sucked out of the plane and lost at
sea. The plane landed safely. The cargo door opening was attributed to
a faulty switch or wiring in the door control system which permitted
electrical actuation of the door latches towards the unlatched position
after initial door closure and before takeoff..."
