Narrative:

Shortly after setting takeoff power; 22 KTS max; at about 60 KTS; loud bang accompanied by aircraft shuddering; and yaw to the right. First officer called tower to report we are aborting; tower said they saw flames/sparks and launched the arff. Our first thought was that we had a blown tire; there were no fire warnings or fire bells and lights. Finally noticed the number 2 egt indication was red and engine fail was annunciated. Reduced thrust to idle shutdown number 2 engine. Exited the runway and waited for arff. Got the all clear from arff; shutdown the number 1 engine and was towed back to terminal after a 1:13 wait for a tug! Post flight inspection found engine completely seized up and would not rotate at all.
