Narrative:
After lift-off at 100 ft AGL left engine lost 80% power with subsequent vibration. Engine was shut down after clean-up and engine failure checklist was accomplished. Declared an emergency, briefed flight attendants and passenger and performed a normal engine-out landing. After touchdown and taxi-in left hydraulic system fluid quantity went to zero. Selected right brake system and requested a tow-in to the gate. Postflt inspection revealed turbine section damage (extensive) and vibration appeared to have loosened hydraulic line for left thrust reverser. Ground shift allowed hydraulic pressure to thrust reverser through thrust reverser isolation valve resulting in loss of fluid after touchdown.

Title: A DC9-30 ON LIFTOFF AT 100 FT AGL DECLARED AN EMER AND DIVERTED DUE TO #1 ENG LOSS OF PWR CAUSED BY TURBINE BLADE FAILURE.
Narrative: AFTER LIFT-OFF AT 100 FT AGL L ENG LOST 80% PWR WITH SUBSEQUENT VIBRATION. ENG WAS SHUT DOWN AFTER CLEAN-UP AND ENG FAILURE CHKLIST WAS ACCOMPLISHED. DECLARED AN EMER, BRIEFED FLT ATTENDANTS AND PAX AND PERFORMED A NORMAL ENG-OUT LNDG. AFTER TOUCHDOWN AND TAXI-IN L HYD SYS FLUID QUANTITY WENT TO ZERO. SELECTED R BRAKE SYS AND REQUESTED A TOW-IN TO THE GATE. POSTFLT INSPECTION REVEALED TURBINE SECTION DAMAGE (EXTENSIVE) AND VIBRATION APPEARED TO HAVE LOOSENED HYD LINE FOR L THRUST REVERSER. GND SHIFT ALLOWED HYD PRESSURE TO THRUST REVERSER THROUGH THRUST REVERSER ISOLATION VALVE RESULTING IN LOSS OF FLUID AFTER TOUCHDOWN.
