Narrative:

During takeoff on runway 4 at bos, tower radioed we had sparks coming out of #2 engine. There were vibrations but indications were normal. Because of the definite vibrations, we decided to land. We were lightwt and did not need to dump fuel. #2 throttle was pulled to idle, and 2 engine approach and landing checklist was accomplished. Just prior to base we got a master caution and noted #2 hydraulic quantity was zero. We ran the #2 hydraulic quantity leak or loss checklist. During landing rollout, most likely when going into reverse thrust, tower radioed #2 engine was on fire. We stopped on the runway, blew the left main cabin door, and slid down the slide to emergency egress. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated the engine was vibrating but was running at idle power until reversing on the ground when the turbine experienced an uncontained failure. The reporter said the engine cowling and tail surfaces incurred damage from the uncontained failure. The reporter stated the aircraft was evacuate/evacuationed and trouble was experienced with the escape slide which was blown up against the airplane. The reporter said the fire department took 15 mins to extinguish the engine fire.

Title: A DC10 ON TKOF AND UP TO 5000 FT EXPERIENCED #2 ENG VIBRATION. SET IDLE PWR AND RETURNED TO THE FIELD. AFTER LNDG, #2 ENG HAD AN UNCONTAINED TURBINE FAILURE AND FIRE.

Narrative: DURING TKOF ON RWY 4 AT BOS, TWR RADIOED WE HAD SPARKS COMING OUT OF #2 ENG. THERE WERE VIBRATIONS BUT INDICATIONS WERE NORMAL. BECAUSE OF THE DEFINITE VIBRATIONS, WE DECIDED TO LAND. WE WERE LIGHTWT AND DID NOT NEED TO DUMP FUEL. #2 THROTTLE WAS PULLED TO IDLE, AND 2 ENG APCH AND LNDG CHKLIST WAS ACCOMPLISHED. JUST PRIOR TO BASE WE GOT A MASTER CAUTION AND NOTED #2 HYD QUANTITY WAS ZERO. WE RAN THE #2 HYD QUANTITY LEAK OR LOSS CHKLIST. DURING LNDG ROLLOUT, MOST LIKELY WHEN GOING INTO REVERSE THRUST, TWR RADIOED #2 ENG WAS ON FIRE. WE STOPPED ON THE RWY, BLEW THE L MAIN CABIN DOOR, AND SLID DOWN THE SLIDE TO EMER EGRESS. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR STATED THE ENG WAS VIBRATING BUT WAS RUNNING AT IDLE PWR UNTIL REVERSING ON THE GND WHEN THE TURBINE EXPERIENCED AN UNCONTAINED FAILURE. THE RPTR SAID THE ENG COWLING AND TAIL SURFACES INCURRED DAMAGE FROM THE UNCONTAINED FAILURE. THE RPTR STATED THE ACFT WAS EVACED AND TROUBLE WAS EXPERIENCED WITH THE ESCAPE SLIDE WHICH WAS BLOWN UP AGAINST THE AIRPLANE. THE RPTR SAID THE FIRE DEPT TOOK 15 MINS TO EXTINGUISH THE ENG FIRE.
