Read the full NTSB narrative
The flight experienced an uncontained failure of the number two engine while in cruise flight. An uneventful landing was made. Examination of the number two engine indicated the second stage low pressure turbine disk experienced separation of a small segment near the disk rim. Metallurgical examination indicated the separation was due to a machining anomaly and reduced fatigue life due to sub standard heat treat of the disk material.
