DURING LEVEL FLIGHT AT ABOUT 600 FT. AGL, THE ENGINE HAD AN UNCONTAINED TURBINE FAILURE THAT BREACHED THE ENGINE FUEL SUPPLY AND CAUSED AN ENGINE FIRE.  AN EMERGENCY LANDING WAS EXECUTED SUCCESSFULLY AND ALL OCCUPANTS WERE ABLE TO EGRESS WITHOUT INJURY.  THE AIRCRAFT BURNED TO TOTAL DISTRUCTION.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)
