Narrative:

Departed 9L at phl. Noticed vibration and yawing moment in aircraft. The right engine had failed. It continued to run but would not accelerate above idle speed. I declared an emergency and returned to land on runway 9L at philadelphia. The landing was uneventful. I then taxied to the gate where the emergency was concluded. Supplemental information from acn 87139: engine was lost due to failure of the high pressure fuel pump.
