Narrative

WE WERE CLRED FOR TKOF ON RWY 16R RENO AND WERE ON THE TKOF ROLL. V1 WAS 138 KTS; VR 143 KTS. WINDSHEAR WAS RPTED IN THE AREA. WIND WAS 180 DEGS 15 KTS AND GUSTY PRETTY MUCH DOWN THE RWY. WE USED FULL THRUST FOR WINDSHEAR ADVISORY. RWY 16R IS ABOUT 11000 FT LONG. AT ABOUT 135 KTS WE HEARD A LOUD POP/BANG. THE L #1 ENG EPR; N1; N2 STARTED DOWN. WE BOTH CALLED ENG FAILURE. I WOULD ESTIMATE WE WERE 5000-6000 FT DOWN THE RWY. THE CAPT IMMEDIATELY CLOSED THE THROTTLES AND ABORTED THE TKOF USING ACR PROCS. I CALLED THE TWR AND TOLD THEM WE WERE ABORTING WITH ENG FAILURE AND ASKED FOR THE EMER EQUIP. THE CAPT STOPPED THE ACFT SHORT OF TXWY Q WHERE THERE IS A LARGE APRON AREA AT THE APCH OF RWY 34L. WE TAXIED OFF ONTO THAT AREA WHERE THE CAPT MADE A VERY COMPLETE BRIEF TO THE PAX ON THE PA. THERE WAS NO PANIC AND NONE LEFT THEIR SEAT. WE DID THE ENG FAILURE CHKLIST FOR THE #1 ENG AND THE BRAKE FIRE AND SMOKE CHKLIST WAS REVIEWED. THE BRAKE TEMPS WERE BTWN 280 AND 310 DEGS C. THE EMER EQUIP LOOKED OVER THE ACFT AND ADVISED NO FIRE OR SMOKE. WE SECURED THE ACFT USING THE ACR CHKLIST AND THE ACFT WAS TOWED TO THE GATE. A MECH TOLD US THAT THE TURBINE SECTION FAILED ON THE #1 ENG. THERE WAS NO EXTERNAL ENG/COWL DAMAGE; NO INJURIES. EVERYONE REMAINED CALM AND DID THEIR JOB PROFESSIONALLY. THE PAX WERE ALSO VERY CALM AND COOPERATIVE. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR CAPT WAS CONTACTED TO OBTAIN ACFT AND ENG MODELS. ACFT WAS MD80 (DC9) AND ENG MODEL -- JT8D-217. RPTR SAYS THAT THIS PARTICULAR ENG HAD ONLY 260 HRS ON IT AND; AFTER CHKING WITH HIS COMPANY; FOUND THAT THE COMPANY HAD 32 CATASTROPHIC ENG FAILURES WITHIN A YR AND; ACCORDING TO THE RPTR; THOSE WERE ALL DC9/MD80 ENGS. RPTR HAD CONCERNS ABOUT ADEQUATE MAINT; AND THOUGH HIS ACR DOES THEIR OWN MAINT WORK; HE WONDERS WHERE THEY OBTAIN THEIR PARTS; ETC. THIS CAPT WAS ON HIS FIRST TRIP AS A CAPT.
