## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED HNL AIRPORT WITH 426 SOB, AND 19 CREW. WHILE CLIMBING THROUGH 15,000 FT. MSL, THE NUMBER 2 ENGINE HAD A LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE. THIS WAS ACCOMPANIED BY HEAVY VIBRATIONS THEN SUBSEQUENT ENGINE FAILURE. THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO HNL. PRELIMINARY INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT AND ENGINE REVEALED THE FOLLOWING; THERE WAS HOLE IN A PASSENGER WINDOW OUTER PANE LEFT SIDE APPROXIMATELY ROW 45, THERE WERE NUMEROUS SKIN HOLES ON THE LEFT INBOARD AILERON, HOLE ON THE #1 OUTBOARD FLAP CANOE, HOLE ON THE #4 FLAP CANOE. THE #2 ENGINE EXHAUST TAIL CONE WAS RESTING ON THE BOTTOM OF THE EXHAUST AREA WITH THE MOUNTING BOLTS BROKEN OR MISSING. THERE WERE REMAINS OF SEVERAL TURBINE WHEELS AND SOME BLADES SCATTERED THROUGH OUT THE EXHAUST SECTION. THERE WAS A HOLE APPROXIMATELY 4"X12" AT THE 6 O'CLOCK POSITION OF THE ENGINE COWL AFT END. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF CASE PENETRATION. THE AIRWORTHINESS OF THE AIRCRAFT WAS COMPROMISED WHEN THE ENGINE FAILED. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ THE AIRCRAFT WAS AIRBORNE SO THE OTHER SEVEN RESPONSIBILITIES WERE NOT A FACTOR REGARDING THIS INCIDENT.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
