## Narrative

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

(-23) TAKEOFF POWER WAS APPLIED WHEN THE CREW HEARD A LOUD BANG FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE AIRCRAFT. THE CREW NOTICED THE #1 ENGINE OIL PRESSURE IN THE "RED". THE #1 ENGINE WAS SHUTDOWN. THE AIRCRAFT ROLLED 1000' TO THE FIRST TURNOFF. THERE WAS LIGHT SMOKE IN THE COCKPIT AND CABIN WHICH DISSIPATED. THE CREW AND FLIGHT ATTENDANTS WERE IN COMMUNICATION AND NO EVACUATION WAS NEEDED. THE APU WAS STARTED AND AIR CONDITIONING WAS RESTORED FOR THE PASSENGERS. THE AIRCRAFT WAS TOWED BACK TO THE GATE. INSPECTION OF #1 ENGINE REVEALED MOLTEN METAL IN THE TAILPIPE. THE ENGINE WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED.

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.
