DURING TKOF ROLL AT MMPR; FLT CREW OF MD80 REJECT TKOF AT 80 KIAS DUE TO ENG FAILURE.

Narrative

AT APPROX 80 KTS ON TKOF ROLL THE L ENG FAILED. I TOOK CTL AND INITIATED AN ABORT. WITH PLENTY OF RWY AVAILABLE; I ELECTED TO ROLL DOWN THE RWY TO EXIT AT A TXWY IN A SMOOTH AND CTLED MANNER. WE STOPPED THE ACFT AND ASKED TWR IF THEY SAW ANY SECONDARY INDICATIONS; WHICH THEY SAID THEY HAD NOT. I PULLED THE FIRE HANDLE AND SHUT OFF THE FUEL LEVER TO THE L ENG. THE L ENG APPEARED TO HAVE SIMPLY FLAMED OUT AND ALL INDICATIONS HAD BEEN NORMAL THROUGHOUT STARTUP AND TKOF ROLL UP UNTIL IT QUIT. I MADE A PA TO CALM THE PEOPLE AND KEEP EVERYONE ON BOARD. I ELECTED TO TAXI TO THE RAMP TO A HOLDING SPOT AND MADE ARRANGEMENTS FOR STAIRS AND BUSES FOR THE PAX. THIS HAD BEEN A MAX PWR TKOF ATTEMPT DUE TO A SLIGHT TAILWIND RPTED BY ATIS. ACTUAL WIND CONDITION OBSERVED BY WINDSOCK AT THE DEP END OF RWY 22 INDICATED A SLIGHT HEADWIND. THERE WAS NO OBVIOUS OR APPARENT CAUSE FOR THE ENG FAILURE; HOWEVER WHEN MAINT LOOKED IT OVER AND THEN MOTORED IT THERE WAS NO N1 ROTATION; N2 SPUN UP TO 40% VERY FAST AND OIL POURED OUT FROM MANY PLACES. IN CONCLUSION; I'M GLAD THAT THIS HAPPENED AT A SLOW SPD REGIME AND THAT EVERYONE ON BOARD WALKED AWAY SAFELY.
