Narrative:

ZZZZ runway 11 cavok 19/16 1012 070/05. I was the PF that evening and our takeoff started at approximately XA15. Just above 100 KTS; there was a loud bang; a swerve to the left and a noticeable decrease in thrust energy. I quickly realigned the aircraft to the center of the runway; simultaneously retarding the throttles. Rejected takeoff engaged and somewhere in the deceleration I said; 'call tower; roll the equipment.' as the aircraft stopped; my first impression was severe engine damage with no fire. I then set the brakes and assessed the engine indications. I saw a blank left engine N1 and left engine egt approximately 625 degrees C. I said 'tell the people to stay seated.' I continued to look outside to see if I could see evidence of fire as I remembered an orange flash in my left periphery approaching the stop and setting the brakes. Now the whole left side appeared dark. We requested at least 4 times from the control tower to advise; but their response was 'stand by.' first officer reached for the fuel control and I said 'shut it down; use the severe damage checklist down to the fire bottles. Don't fire the bottles.' first officer complied; I confirmed. As I saw the crash fire rescue equipment equipment racing for the aircraft; I told relief pilot 'go back and take a look on the left side.' I then made an announcement to the passenger that I believed our engine had seized and it was now secure and that I believed our situation was stable. 'Please remain seated and stay calm.' at approximately the same time; relief pilot returned to the cockpit; equipment from crash fire rescue equipment; busses; support vehicles and an air carrier van were arriving under the aircraft. Relief pilot said he saw no fire or glow from the left engine. I then told first officer 'shut down the right engine.' I further observed that the personnel moving about did not appear hurried but walked about the aircraft. We saw lead mechanic approaching with a headset and he immediately called the cockpit. I asked him; 'what is the condition of the left engine?' and 'do you see fire?' he said; 'the engine is fine and there is no fire.' he also said that the busses were here to get the passenger and we might request stairs to exit the aircraft. But now we only had 1 radio and relief pilot was cut off in the middle of his request as the right engine wound down and we lost AC power. I told mechanic to stand by as I informed the passenger what to expect with a dark aircraft and to continue to stay calm. Abruptly; a voice came on the flight interphone and said 'exit the aircraft; right side.' I think I asked who it was; and the voice said; 'this is the fire department; exit the aircraft.' I think I said I didn't want to use the slide to avoid injuries and the voice responded; 'exit the aircraft; now!' I then called our purser and said 'we are going to have to leave the aircraft via the slides; and I want it done orderly and calmly.' she immediately briefed the other flight attendants and I made another announcement to the passenger how our exit would take place and to stay calm. First officer and relief pilot ran the evacuate/evacuation checklist and I gave the command to 'open the doors; right side.' first officer; relief pilot; and I proceeded to the cabin to assist and direct passenger to exit without delay; be orderly; and stay calm. We deplaned doors 1R and 2R two at a time until crash fire rescue equipment told us to come only one at a time. We made a sweep through the aircraft as the flight attendants were leaving and; when I saw relief pilot was the last to go; I left.

Narrative: ZZZZ RWY 11 CAVOK 19/16 1012 070/05. I WAS THE PF THAT EVENING AND OUR TKOF STARTED AT APPROX XA15. JUST ABOVE 100 KTS; THERE WAS A LOUD BANG; A SWERVE TO THE L AND A NOTICEABLE DECREASE IN THRUST ENERGY. I QUICKLY REALIGNED THE ACFT TO THE CTR OF THE RWY; SIMULTANEOUSLY RETARDING THE THROTTLES. REJECTED TKOF ENGAGED AND SOMEWHERE IN THE DECELERATION I SAID; 'CALL TWR; ROLL THE EQUIP.' AS THE ACFT STOPPED; MY FIRST IMPRESSION WAS SEVERE ENG DAMAGE WITH NO FIRE. I THEN SET THE BRAKES AND ASSESSED THE ENG INDICATIONS. I SAW A BLANK L ENG N1 AND L ENG EGT APPROX 625 DEGS C. I SAID 'TELL THE PEOPLE TO STAY SEATED.' I CONTINUED TO LOOK OUTSIDE TO SEE IF I COULD SEE EVIDENCE OF FIRE AS I REMEMBERED AN ORANGE FLASH IN MY L PERIPHERY APCHING THE STOP AND SETTING THE BRAKES. NOW THE WHOLE L SIDE APPEARED DARK. WE REQUESTED AT LEAST 4 TIMES FROM THE CTL TWR TO ADVISE; BUT THEIR RESPONSE WAS 'STAND BY.' FO REACHED FOR THE FUEL CTL AND I SAID 'SHUT IT DOWN; USE THE SEVERE DAMAGE CHKLIST DOWN TO THE FIRE BOTTLES. DON'T FIRE THE BOTTLES.' FO COMPLIED; I CONFIRMED. AS I SAW THE CFR EQUIP RACING FOR THE ACFT; I TOLD RELIEF PLT 'GO BACK AND TAKE A LOOK ON THE L SIDE.' I THEN MADE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE PAX THAT I BELIEVED OUR ENG HAD SEIZED AND IT WAS NOW SECURE AND THAT I BELIEVED OUR SIT WAS STABLE. 'PLEASE REMAIN SEATED AND STAY CALM.' AT APPROX THE SAME TIME; RELIEF PLT RETURNED TO THE COCKPIT; EQUIP FROM CFR; BUSSES; SUPPORT VEHICLES AND AN ACR VAN WERE ARRIVING UNDER THE ACFT. RELIEF PLT SAID HE SAW NO FIRE OR GLOW FROM THE L ENG. I THEN TOLD FO 'SHUT DOWN THE R ENG.' I FURTHER OBSERVED THAT THE PERSONNEL MOVING ABOUT DID NOT APPEAR HURRIED BUT WALKED ABOUT THE ACFT. WE SAW LEAD MECH APCHING WITH A HEADSET AND HE IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE COCKPIT. I ASKED HIM; 'WHAT IS THE CONDITION OF THE L ENG?' AND 'DO YOU SEE FIRE?' HE SAID; 'THE ENG IS FINE AND THERE IS NO FIRE.' HE ALSO SAID THAT THE BUSSES WERE HERE TO GET THE PAX AND WE MIGHT REQUEST STAIRS TO EXIT THE ACFT. BUT NOW WE ONLY HAD 1 RADIO AND RELIEF PLT WAS CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS REQUEST AS THE R ENG WOUND DOWN AND WE LOST AC PWR. I TOLD MECH TO STAND BY AS I INFORMED THE PAX WHAT TO EXPECT WITH A DARK ACFT AND TO CONTINUE TO STAY CALM. ABRUPTLY; A VOICE CAME ON THE FLT INTERPHONE AND SAID 'EXIT THE ACFT; R SIDE.' I THINK I ASKED WHO IT WAS; AND THE VOICE SAID; 'THIS IS THE FIRE DEPT; EXIT THE ACFT.' I THINK I SAID I DIDN'T WANT TO USE THE SLIDE TO AVOID INJURIES AND THE VOICE RESPONDED; 'EXIT THE ACFT; NOW!' I THEN CALLED OUR PURSER AND SAID 'WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO LEAVE THE ACFT VIA THE SLIDES; AND I WANT IT DONE ORDERLY AND CALMLY.' SHE IMMEDIATELY BRIEFED THE OTHER FLT ATTENDANTS AND I MADE ANOTHER ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE PAX HOW OUR EXIT WOULD TAKE PLACE AND TO STAY CALM. FO AND RELIEF PLT RAN THE EVAC CHKLIST AND I GAVE THE COMMAND TO 'OPEN THE DOORS; R SIDE.' FO; RELIEF PLT; AND I PROCEEDED TO THE CABIN TO ASSIST AND DIRECT PAX TO EXIT WITHOUT DELAY; BE ORDERLY; AND STAY CALM. WE DEPLANED DOORS 1R AND 2R TWO AT A TIME UNTIL CFR TOLD US TO COME ONLY ONE AT A TIME. WE MADE A SWEEP THROUGH THE ACFT AS THE FLT ATTENDANTS WERE LEAVING AND; WHEN I SAW RELIEF PLT WAS THE LAST TO GO; I LEFT.
