Narrative:
Engine failure and windshear warning on go around at mia. We were flying a visual approach to runway 9R at mia. I was PF, hand flying and using autothrottles during approach and go around. At approximately 800 ft on approach it began to rain at the field. At approximately 200 ft we encountered very heavy rain and lost sight of the runway. I executed a go around. At approximately 800 ft on the climb we heard a loud bang, after which we observed the right engine spooling down. At approximately 1200 ft the windshear alert system gave us an aural and visual warning. The warnings stopped very shortly thereafter, we declared an emergency. Because of deteriorating WX conditions at mia we proceeded to our alternate -- pbi. We did not attempt a restart of the windmilling right engine. We completed all checklists, briefed the flight attendants, and made a single-engine landing at pbi in good VFR conditions. We requested crash fire rescue equipment equipment to stand-by. Immediately after landing they made a visual inspection of the aircraft and found it to be intact. We taxied to the gate, secured the aircraft, and assisted with the normal deplaning of passenger. I called my dispatcher and briefed him on the event.

Title: MD80 CREW HAD ENG FAILURE ON A MISSED APCH.
Narrative: ENG FAILURE AND WINDSHEAR WARNING ON GAR AT MIA. WE WERE FLYING A VISUAL APCH TO RWY 9R AT MIA. I WAS PF, HAND FLYING AND USING AUTOTHROTTLES DURING APCH AND GAR. AT APPROX 800 FT ON APCH IT BEGAN TO RAIN AT THE FIELD. AT APPROX 200 FT WE ENCOUNTERED VERY HVY RAIN AND LOST SIGHT OF THE RWY. I EXECUTED A GAR. AT APPROX 800 FT ON THE CLB WE HEARD A LOUD BANG, AFTER WHICH WE OBSERVED THE R ENG SPOOLING DOWN. AT APPROX 1200 FT THE WINDSHEAR ALERT SYS GAVE US AN AURAL AND VISUAL WARNING. THE WARNINGS STOPPED VERY SHORTLY THEREAFTER, WE DECLARED AN EMER. BECAUSE OF DETERIORATING WX CONDITIONS AT MIA WE PROCEEDED TO OUR ALTERNATE -- PBI. WE DID NOT ATTEMPT A RESTART OF THE WINDMILLING R ENG. WE COMPLETED ALL CHKLISTS, BRIEFED THE FLT ATTENDANTS, AND MADE A SINGLE-ENG LNDG AT PBI IN GOOD VFR CONDITIONS. WE REQUESTED CFR EQUIP TO STAND-BY. IMMEDIATELY AFTER LNDG THEY MADE A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE ACFT AND FOUND IT TO BE INTACT. WE TAXIED TO THE GATE, SECURED THE ACFT, AND ASSISTED WITH THE NORMAL DEPLANING OF PAX. I CALLED MY DISPATCHER AND BRIEFED HIM ON THE EVENT.
