Narrative:
Passing 9000 ft, flight attendants complained of burning smell in the cabin. The flight engineer and myself started investigating the odor -- checking pack temperatures and electrical loads. Shortly after #1 engine high vibration illuminated and #1 engine shook the aircraft and sounded a loud bang, the crew initiated shutdown procedures immediately, but severe damage resulted from the turbine section coming apart. Fuel was dumped and a normal landing (engine out) was made in hnl.
