Narrative:
Engine #2 failed; performed rapid roll back after sudden shudder/vibration. Captain and I performed memory item for 'engine failure/flameout/shutdown' sec 72.3 of the MD80 QRH. Noticed egt (exhaust gas temperature) off scale high (above 800 degrees C). Egt started to cool rapidly upon executing 'fuel lever off' portion of checklist. Completed checklist and secured #2 engine. Proceeded to destination and accomplished single engine approach/landing checklist. Touchdown weight was approx 140;100# at 3-400 fpm.upon inspection found turbine section completely destroyed/missing. With a complete turbine failure/destruction such as was our case; we received residual fuel flow; N1; N2; and oil pressure. Egt was off scale high 800+ degrees C. I'm unsure as to preventative measures on our part; however; this was sort of an anomaly when reading the QRH. Perhaps include a note about egt in this section as well.
