Narrative:
Nippon Cargo Airlines flight 166, a Boeing 747-400F, suffered an engine failure on takeoff from Narita International Airport.
Just after the takeoff, an abnormal noise was heard from one of its engines and instruments indicated a No.1 engine failure. Therefore, the flight crew shut down the No.1 engine after climbing to an altitude of 7,000 feet. After jettisoning its fuel, the aircraft turned back and landed at Narita International Airport at 23:08.
There were three persons on board, consisting of the Captain, one crewmember and an employee of the company, but no one was injured.

PROBABLE CAUSES
It is considered highly probable that this serious incident occurred as follows: When the Aircraft took off, one or more of the stage 1 HPT blades from the No.1 engine fractured at the shank area below the platform and the blade fragments went downstream and damaged the NGV, the stage 1 HPT shroud and components in the rear section.
It is considered highly probable that the fractures of part of the stage 1 HPT blades had been caused by pitting due to type II hot corrosion in the shank area below the platform and cracks grew from there, which led to fatigue cracks in the blades with cycle stress applied on them.
