Narrative:

On mar/xa/01, at approximately XA00Z, air carrier X flight abc in a boeing B757-200, en route from cvg to tjsj (san juan, pr) was level at FL370 over ahn, GA. ZTL asked us to climb to FL390 for crossing traffic and subsequently asked us to expedite the climb. Climb power had just been added and at approximately FL375, a loud bang was heard from the right side of the aircraft with a corresponding yaw to the right. EPR on the right engine immediately went to zero with a steady increase in egt. An emergency was declared with ATC with a request for an immediate descent and diversion to atl. The engine failure checklist was completed and the engine was shut down in accordance with the air carrier X B757 operating manual. The aircraft made an uneventful single engine landing on runway 27R at atl and taxied to the gate. Preliminary investigation by mechanics who met the flight indicated a possible internal failure of the engine. Supplemental information from acn 507802: landing occurred in approximately 12 mins.

Title: B757 INFLT ENG FAILURE. FLC DECLARED AN EMER AND DIVERTED TO ANOTHER ARPT FOR LNDG.

Narrative: ON MAR/XA/01, AT APPROX XA00Z, ACR X FLT ABC IN A BOEING B757-200, ENRTE FROM CVG TO TJSJ (SAN JUAN, PR) WAS LEVEL AT FL370 OVER AHN, GA. ZTL ASKED US TO CLB TO FL390 FOR XING TFC AND SUBSEQUENTLY ASKED US TO EXPEDITE THE CLB. CLB PWR HAD JUST BEEN ADDED AND AT APPROX FL375, A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD FROM THE R SIDE OF THE ACFT WITH A CORRESPONDING YAW TO THE R. EPR ON THE R ENG IMMEDIATELY WENT TO ZERO WITH A STEADY INCREASE IN EGT. AN EMER WAS DECLARED WITH ATC WITH A REQUEST FOR AN IMMEDIATE DSCNT AND DIVERSION TO ATL. THE ENG FAILURE CHKLIST WAS COMPLETED AND THE ENG WAS SHUT DOWN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ACR X B757 OPERATING MANUAL. THE ACFT MADE AN UNEVENTFUL SINGLE ENG LNDG ON RWY 27R AT ATL AND TAXIED TO THE GATE. PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION BY MECHS WHO MET THE FLT INDICATED A POSSIBLE INTERNAL FAILURE OF THE ENG. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 507802: LNDG OCCURRED IN APPROX 12 MINS.
