Narrative:
I was a commuting crew member. Engine failed at approximately 1000 ft. After aircraft stabilized, I came forward to the cockpit, occupied the jump seat, and assisted with communications. Observed cockpit procedures and made announcements to passenger and flight attendants as appropriate. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated the engine was a JT8D-7 engine and it appeared on inspection of the tailpipe that something in the turbine section failed. The reporter said the maintenance action taken was to replace the engine.
