A B717 ENG FAILED DURING LANDING BUT WAS DETECTED BY THE CREW AS A HIGH TGT EVEN THOUGH THE LEVEL 2 ALERT WAS BLOCKED DURING LANDING.

Narrative

DURING LNDG AT APPROX 100-50 FT AGL; WE HEARD A LOW FREQ GROAN WITH A SLIGHT SHUDDER OF THE AIRFRAME. I RECHKED THE GEAR DOWN INDICATION AND WE LANDED. WITH REVERSE SELECTED AND THE SPOILERS DEPLOYED; I NOTICED A RISING TGT ON THE L ENG; I INFORMED THE FO THAT WE LOST OUR L ENG AND AS THE TGT ROSE FURTHER; I ELECTED TO SHUT OFF THE FUEL SWITCH TO THAT ENG. THE PEAK TGT WAS 1062. AFTER THE FUEL SWITCH WAS MOVED TO THE 'OFF' POS THE TEMP FELL BACK TO A NORMAL BUT STILL VERY WARM TEMP APPROX 400 DEGS. WE INFORMED THE TWR OF THE SITUATION AND ASKED FOR THEM TO HAVE THE FIRE TRUCKS MEET US AND ASKED IF THEY SAW ANYTHING UNUSUAL ON OUR L ENG. THEY SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE AND WE WAITED FOR THE FIRE DEPT TO CHK THINGS OUT; WE RAN THE ENG TGT HIGH CHKLIST; AND THE FIRE DEPT SAID WE HAD NO SMOKE OR FLUID COMING OUT OF THE ENG ALTHOUGH THEIR SENSORS SHOWED HEAT THEY SAW NO SIGNS OF FIRE. WE CONTACTED OPS AND CONTINUED TO THE GATE WITH FIRE TRUCKS IN TOW AS A PRECAUTION. THE PAX DEPLANED AT THE GATE WITHOUT INCIDENT. I BELIEVE THE ENG WAS IN THE PROCESS OF FAILING AS WE WERE TOUCHING DOWN AND FUEL WAS CAUSING HIGH TEMPS IN THE ENG. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE REPORTER STATED THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING AS THE ACFT SHUDDERED AND BECAUSE OF THE LOW ALTITUDE HAD VERY LITTLE TIME TO TROUBLESHOOT WHAT WAS OCCURRING. IN THE END THE HIGH TGT WAS DETECTED BEFORE THE LEVEL 2 ALERTS WERE AGAIN ACTIVE BELOW 80 KTS.
