Narrative:

After reducing climb power and accelerating through 0 degrees manual speed (vref 80), the left engine failed. Emergency declared and leveled at 3000 ft. Vectored for an ILS runway 27L in VMC. (Engine failure and overweight procedures accomplished.) flight attendants advised we were returning to phl for a 'normal' landing. Passenger advised we were having problems with one of the engines and returning with a normal landing. Emergency equipment followed the aircraft to the taxiway where it was towed to the gate. Flight crew, ATC, cabin crew and airport auths did their jobs well.
