## Discrepancy

AT FL410 IN CRUISE FLIGHT, CREW EXPERIENCED A LOUD "BANG" FROM THE NR 2 RIGHT ENGINE FOLLOWED BY INCREASING ITT AND VIBRATION.  CREW ADVISED ATC OF THE SITUATION AND REQUESTED A LOWER ALTITUDE.  DURING THE DECENT THERE WAS A SMELL OF JET FUEL.  AT THAT POINT THE CREW DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND DID A PRECAUTIONARY SHUTDOWN.  ALL CHECKLISTS ACCOMPLISHED AND CREW LANDED UNEVENTFULLY.
