## Discrepancy

(CAN) FOLLOWING TAKEOFF, THE ENGINE EMITTED A LOUD NOISE AND WAS SHUT DOWN IN FLIGHT. SUBSEQUENT INSPECTION REVEALED FRACTURED POWER TURBINE BLADES. ASSOCIATED FRACTURE OF THE EXHAUST DUCT CLAMP RESULTED IN EXHAUST IMPINGING ON THE LANDING GEAR STRUT IN THE AIRCRAFT WHEELWELL, TRIGGERING A FIRE WARNING INDICATION.  MFG WILL INVESTIGATE THE EVENT AND ADVISE OF ROOT CAUSE ONCE ESTABLISHED. (TC NR 20071016001)
