## Discrepancy

EWR - FLT 2000 - THE NR 2 ENGINE GAVE OFF A LOUD BANG ON CLIMB-OUT OF EWR.  ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO EWR.  MAINTENANCE FOUND METAL IN THE NR 2 ENGINE TAILPIPE.  THE NR 2 ENGINE WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED.  THE SDR WILL REMAIN OPEN FOR PART INFORMATION PENDING INVESTIGATION.  SUPPLEMENT - THE ENGINE FAILED DUE TO A BROKEN FIRST STAGE TURBINE BLADE.  THE BLADE BROKE NEAR THE ROOT AND INVESTIGATION INDICATED THE FAILURE INITIATED AT THE TRAILING EDGE.  (X)
