Narrative:

We were having light to moderate chop as we ascended to 10000 ft. Right after the 10000 ft chime there was a very loud bang; along with a 'fishtail' effect or more turbulence? Not certain if right or left side at first. Lint and dust came filtering out of the overhead bin area on the left hand side. There were grinding and 'dying' engine sounds. Because of the turbulence I was still strapped into my jumpseat. I immediately rang the cockpit and was able to say; 'I think the left engine is out.' I had a commuter on my jumpseat with me. We went over evacuate/evacuation procedures and made a plan; due to the heavy load and where would she go. I locked the lavatory doors and spoke over the PA; 'remain calm; the captain has everything under control.' I stayed on the interphone. The captain said we would land in about 5 mins and stay remote to be checked out for fire/or fuselage damage. Everything should be alright. He said he did not smell fire; did we? 'No; I did not.' if we were to evacuate/evacuation it was to be standard procedures. I stayed on the interphone and asked jumpseater to help me listen for doors not to evacuate/evacuation through if the captain said anything after we landed. We landed without incident and remained at a remote location for about 10 mins before proceeding to our gate to deplane. We received another airplane in a different concourse and continued about 2 hours late. To my knowledge there was no physical injuries just a lot of very frightened people.
