Narrative:

On climb out at about 100-200' AGL we heard a muffled sound which was an apparent engine compressor stall. Simultaneously #2 engine egt rose to peg (1000 degree), N1 fell to 80%, and the tower called stating that they saw flames coming from #2, and #1 engine. I immediately reduced power to idle on #2 engine. There was no fire warning in cockpit. We climbed out, completed the engine fire emergency list for #2 engine, and dumped fuel to the 'standpipes'. The #1 and #3 engines both appeared normal except for a loss of #3 N1 gauge intermittently. The remainder of the flight was taken up completing emergency and irregular checklists, advising the first F/a to prepare passengers for evacuate/evacuation, calling dispatch, etc. The wind was 090/7 so we elected to land on 7L. Land weight was 356.0. Landing was smooth. I notified the passengers to 'keep their seats, everything was ok' after landing. Proceeded to the gate west/O further incident.

Title: ACR WDB COMPRESSOR STALL AFTER TKOF. RETURN AND LAND.

Narrative: ON CLB OUT AT ABOUT 100-200' AGL WE HEARD A MUFFLED SOUND WHICH WAS AN APPARENT ENG COMPRESSOR STALL. SIMULTANEOUSLY #2 ENG EGT ROSE TO PEG (1000 DEG), N1 FELL TO 80%, AND THE TWR CALLED STATING THAT THEY SAW FLAMES COMING FROM #2, AND #1 ENG. I IMMEDIATELY REDUCED PWR TO IDLE ON #2 ENG. THERE WAS NO FIRE WARNING IN COCKPIT. WE CLBED OUT, COMPLETED THE ENG FIRE EMER LIST FOR #2 ENG, AND DUMPED FUEL TO THE 'STANDPIPES'. THE #1 AND #3 ENGS BOTH APPEARED NORMAL EXCEPT FOR A LOSS OF #3 N1 GAUGE INTERMITTENTLY. THE REMAINDER OF THE FLT WAS TAKEN UP COMPLETING EMER AND IRREGULAR CHKLISTS, ADVISING THE FIRST F/A TO PREPARE PAXS FOR EVAC, CALLING DISPATCH, ETC. THE WIND WAS 090/7 SO WE ELECTED TO LAND ON 7L. LAND WT WAS 356.0. LNDG WAS SMOOTH. I NOTIFIED THE PAXS TO 'KEEP THEIR SEATS, EVERYTHING WAS OK' AFTER LNDG. PROCEEDED TO THE GATE W/O FURTHER INCIDENT.
