Narrative:

Just prior to V1; I heard a bang and the aircraft yawed to the right. I aborted the takeoff. After we came to a stop; we had the crash fire rescue equipment look over the aircraft. The brakes became hot and 1 tire deflated. All passenger were taken to the terminal via bus. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated the airplane was removed from service and remained overnight. Maintenance made checks to the engines looking for anything that could cause a high power stall. Nothing was found and the airplane was returned to service where it operated normally.
