## Discrepancy

(CAN) DEPARTING, WHILE CRUISING AT 31 000 FT, LOUD BANG COMING FROM LT ENGINE WITH DECREASING  EPR , INCREASING  EGT UP TO 575 C. DID NOT HAVE A RE-LIGHT WITH IGNITER  ON INCREASING POWER WAS NOT RESPONDING, SO WE TREATED THAT AS A SEVERE DAMAGE OR SEPARATION AND THE ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN.  AIRCRAFT WAS DIVERTED.
