Narrative:
Just after takeoff from runway 28 at bwi we heard 2 loud noises, possibly compressor stalls, followed by failure of the left engine. Elected to return to bwi. During approach selected gear down. Did not get a green light for the left main gear. The red gear unsafe light remained on for that gear. Suspected tire failure caused engine failure and gear indication problem. Had tower visually inspect gear during a low approach. Had first officer use alternate means to verify gear position while being vectored for approach. Tower reported gear looked down. First officer reported gear showed locked down. Returned for another approach and landing. Landing and rollout were normal. #2 main tire had come apart and entered left engine causing its failure.
