I think the person above you is mistaken. The A380 is a quadjet. It is certified under FAR (Federal Aviation Regulations, USA) part 25 and JAR (Joint Aviation Regulations, Europe) part 25.
One of the requirements of FAR/JAR 25 is that the directional control can be maintained when two critical engines (that means under the same wing) fail.

yikes, im sure that didnt freak you out at all.
I'd be insanely stressed about this. While at the same time realizing that logically it has flown for _years_ without incident afterwards.
I wouldn't, the A380 is designed to fly with just one operational engine.
There is no way an a380 is maintaining level flight with only one engine.
