Narrative:
#2 engine failed at 400 ft AGL on takeoff from runway 36R ZZZ. There was a noticeable thump, followed by a loss of thrust and decreasing EPR. Declared an emergency with tower, completed the engine fire/severe damage checklist, and landed without further incident. No fuel dump was required. The aircraft had been deiced in the ramp area with engines shut down, deiced again at the departure end of the runway, and had received 2 pre-takeoff contamination checks prior to takeoff. WX was reported as 800 ft broken, 3/4 SM visibility with ice pellets and mist. Engine anti-ice was turned on immediately following engine start and remained on throughout. I do not know the extent to which the upper fuselage or engine nacelles were deiced during the deicing procedures.

Title: A B727-200 CTR ENG FAILED DURING TKOF IN ICING CONDITIONS FOLLOWING DEICING. CREW DECLARED AN EMER AND RETURN LAND.
Narrative: #2 ENG FAILED AT 400 FT AGL ON TKOF FROM RWY 36R ZZZ. THERE WAS A NOTICEABLE THUMP, FOLLOWED BY A LOSS OF THRUST AND DECREASING EPR. DECLARED AN EMER WITH TWR, COMPLETED THE ENG FIRE/SEVERE DAMAGE CHKLIST, AND LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. NO FUEL DUMP WAS REQUIRED. THE ACFT HAD BEEN DEICED IN THE RAMP AREA WITH ENGS SHUT DOWN, DEICED AGAIN AT THE DEP END OF THE RWY, AND HAD RECEIVED 2 PRE-TKOF CONTAMINATION CHKS PRIOR TO TKOF. WX WAS RPTED AS 800 FT BROKEN, 3/4 SM VISIBILITY WITH ICE PELLETS AND MIST. ENG ANTI-ICE WAS TURNED ON IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING ENG START AND REMAINED ON THROUGHOUT. I DO NOT KNOW THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE UPPER FUSELAGE OR ENG NACELLES WERE DEICED DURING THE DEICING PROCS.
