My real job is with an airline operations department. Engine failures are pretty rare but I can assure you they are no big deal. The pilots train for it and the flights are planned over routes that ensure they will be able to clear all terrain by at least 1000' (plenty of separation) but usually more. A fully loaded B757 can take off pretty close to max take off weight and never hit any part of the Rocky Mountains over the USA.
