A McDonnell Douglas DC-9-32 was departing Regina, Saskatchewan, on a scheduled flight to Calgary, Alberta, with 63 passengers and a crew of five on board. During the take-off run, the pilots heard several muffled bangs and felt significant airframe vibration. They rejected the take-off and brought the aircraft to a stop on the runway. The passengers were evacuated with no injuries. The aircraft sustained substantial damage to the left engine, cowlings, and the engine support pylon, and the two right main landing gear tires were blown. The Board determined that a crack had developed in the left engine combustion chamber outer case (CCOC) through fatigue and intergranular fracture modes. The CCOC ruptured during the take-off run and the engine immediately lost power. The crack was not discovered during maintenance inspections because of a misinterpretation of an airworthiness directive.
