Engine lost all oil pressure and oil quantity went to zero. Shutdown number 3 engine per appropriate emergency checklist. Elected to declare emergency with Center. Started descent toward the International Airport. Captain took aircraft and landed. No other significant problems encountered. I believe the engine lost all oil within 15 seconds and when this happens if you follow the emergency checklists and rely on the training received the aircraft can be recovered safely.
