Narrative:
During initial climb out from runway 4 at lga (right after gear retraction) we experienced a loud bang and a momentary yaw. Initial impression for both pilots was that something had hit the left side of the aircraft. Within seconds of the bang, the cockpit filled with smoke. We declared an emergency with new york departure control and requested vector to jfk for immediate landing. Flight attendants called and reported smoke in the cabin also. Source of smoke was not known at the time. Landed on runway 13R at jfk, stopped on runway and initiated evacuate/evacuation. Evacuate/evacuation proceeded smoothly with no injuries. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the first officer stated that the company later said it was the 6TH stage of the compressor that failed, blowing an oil seal that produced the smoke in the aircraft.
