MD80 FA REPORTS ENGINE FAILURE CLIMBING OUT OF 10000 FEET.

Narrative

WE WERE HAVING LIGHT TO MODERATE CHOP AS WE ASCENDED TO 10000 FT. RIGHT AFTER THE 10000 FT CHIME THERE WAS A VERY LOUD BANG; ALONG WITH A 'FISHTAIL' EFFECT OR MORE TURB? NOT CERTAIN IF R OR L SIDE AT FIRST. LINT AND DUST CAME FILTERING OUT OF THE OVERHEAD BIN AREA ON THE L HAND SIDE. THERE WERE GRINDING AND 'DYING' ENG SOUNDS. BECAUSE OF THE TURB I WAS STILL STRAPPED INTO MY JUMPSEAT. I IMMEDIATELY RANG THE COCKPIT AND WAS ABLE TO SAY; 'I THINK THE L ENG IS OUT.' I HAD A COMMUTER ON MY JUMPSEAT WITH ME. WE WENT OVER EVAC PROCS AND MADE A PLAN; DUE TO THE HVY LOAD AND WHERE WOULD SHE GO. I LOCKED THE LAVATORY DOORS AND SPOKE OVER THE PA; 'REMAIN CALM; THE CAPT HAS EVERYTHING UNDER CTL.' I STAYED ON THE INTERPHONE. THE CAPT SAID WE WOULD LAND IN ABOUT 5 MINS AND STAY REMOTE TO BE CHKED OUT FOR FIRE/OR FUSELAGE DAMAGE. EVERYTHING SHOULD BE ALRIGHT. HE SAID HE DID NOT SMELL FIRE; DID WE? 'NO; I DID NOT.' IF WE WERE TO EVAC IT WAS TO BE STANDARD PROCS. I STAYED ON THE INTERPHONE AND ASKED JUMPSEATER TO HELP ME LISTEN FOR DOORS NOT TO EVAC THROUGH IF THE CAPT SAID ANYTHING AFTER WE LANDED. WE LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT AND REMAINED AT A REMOTE LOCATION FOR ABOUT 10 MINS BEFORE PROCEEDING TO OUR GATE TO DEPLANE. WE RECEIVED ANOTHER AIRPLANE IN A DIFFERENT CONCOURSE AND CONTINUED ABOUT 2 HRS LATE. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THERE WAS NO PHYSICAL INJURIES JUST A LOT OF VERY FRIGHTENED PEOPLE.
