What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: on 02/22/96 @ iah a/p aircraft N-87070, DC-10-30, rejected take-off at approximately 100 KTS due to #3 engine failure. The aircraft stopped on runway and was towed back to gate to deplane passengers. Preliminary investigation revealed an uncontained #3 engine failure of the (lpt) rotor. A hole punctured through the engine and core cowling and pylon fairing. Also, inspection revealed that the fan rotor and lpt rotor could turn independently of each other. Suspect rotor decoupled. Also noted was fire from engine during take-off. Per Continental engineering, other operators have experienced similar failures. These have led to catastrophic engine failures. G.e. aircraft engines product support engineering and g.e. aircraft engine flight safety and Continental airlines engineering will be on site for disassembly of engine at aviall-caledonian repair station #CJ5Y781M at prestwick, scotland, scheduled March 18, 1996.
As the FAA filed it
NARRATIVE: ON 02/22/96 @ IAH A/P AIRCRAFT N-87070, DC-10-30, REJECTED TAKE-OFF AT APPROXIMATELY 100 KTS DUE TO #3 ENGINE FAILURE. THE AIRCRAFT STOPPED ON RUNWAY AND WAS TOWED BACK TO GATE TO DEPLANE PASSENGERS. PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION REVEALED AN UNCONTAINED #3 ENGINE FAILURE OF THE (LPT) ROTOR. A HOLE PUNCTURED THROUGH THE ENGINE AND CORE COWLING AND PYLON FAIRING. ALSO, INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE FAN ROTOR AND LPT ROTOR COULD TURN INDEPENDENTLY OF EACH OTHER. SUSPECT ROTOR DECOUPLED. ALSO NOTED WAS FIRE FROM ENGINE DURING TAKE-OFF. PER CONTINENTAL ENGINEERING, OTHER OPERATORS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR FAILURES. THESE HAVE LED TO CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURES. G.E. AIRCRAFT ENGINES PRODUCT SUPPORT ENGINEERING AND G.E. AIRCRAFT ENGINE FLIGHT SAFETY AND CONTINENTAL AIRLINES ENGINEERING WILL BE ON SITE FOR DISASSEMBLY OF ENGINE AT AVIALL-CALEDONIAN REPAIR STATION #CJ5Y781M AT PRESTWICK, SCOTLAND, SCHEDULED MARCH 18, 1996.
