Narrative:
Departed. First officer was pilot flying. Just after liftoff the left engine failed. Engine failure was associated with a loud bang; yaw; and engine instruments rolling back with a high egt. Captain declared an emergency and briefed the flight attendants. Captain ran the emergency checklist and coordinated return to our departure airport with first officer flying. Tower said winds were calm and we could land on opposite direction runway; which we did. Captain requested arff to check over the left engine on rollout for any fire. Arff said he saw no problems and we taxied to the gate. Contacted dispatch and maintenance control for debrief. Wrote up the engine failure; overweight landing; and overheated brakes. Captain and first officer crew coordination was good. Superb support from tower; arff; and air carrier's operations.
