Narrative:

Normal takeoff and climb. Approaching 10000 ft, noted a loud noise vibration then a 'bang' followed by engine #3 drop in EPR, N1, and N2 and a high increase in egt. Engine failure/severe damage shutdown procedure performed followed by 1 engine inoperative follow up checklist. Emergency declared. Received vectors for ILS approach to runway 9R at mia. Cabin attendants and passenger informed of emergency and our return to mia. Approach control asked if we wanted emergency vehicles out for our landing. We said yes. The approach and landing went well with no further complications. Since it was 'my' leg, I continued to fly and asked the first officer and so to perform the procedures. It is much more difficult to maintain the 'big' picture of the entire operation when continuing to fly. For this reason, I might have the first officer fly while I work with the so, the next time a similar problem occurs.

Title: INTERNAL JET ENG FAILURE REQUIRES A RETURN/LAND.

Narrative: NORMAL TKOF AND CLB. APCHING 10000 FT, NOTED A LOUD NOISE VIBRATION THEN A 'BANG' FOLLOWED BY ENG #3 DROP IN EPR, N1, AND N2 AND A HIGH INCREASE IN EGT. ENG FAILURE/SEVERE DAMAGE SHUTDOWN PROC PERFORMED FOLLOWED BY 1 ENG INOP FOLLOW UP CHKLIST. EMER DECLARED. RECEIVED VECTORS FOR ILS APCH TO RWY 9R AT MIA. CABIN ATTENDANTS AND PAX INFORMED OF EMER AND OUR RETURN TO MIA. APCH CTL ASKED IF WE WANTED EMER VEHICLES OUT FOR OUR LNDG. WE SAID YES. THE APCH AND LNDG WENT WELL WITH NO FURTHER COMPLICATIONS. SINCE IT WAS 'MY' LEG, I CONTINUED TO FLY AND ASKED THE FO AND SO TO PERFORM THE PROCS. IT IS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN THE 'BIG' PICTURE OF THE ENTIRE OP WHEN CONTINUING TO FLY. FOR THIS REASON, I MIGHT HAVE THE FO FLY WHILE I WORK WITH THE SO, THE NEXT TIME A SIMILAR PROB OCCURS.
