Narrative:

We were given runway 29R at msp for our departure. The initial part of our departure roll was normal; we then experienced a tire failure, followed by an engine failure. I aborted the takeoff and safely stopped the aircraft beyond the departure end of the runway. There was no injury, no emergency evacuate/evacuation. Passengers were bussed back to the terminal. Subsequent investigation showed both left main tires blown and rubber ingested into the engine, causing an engine failure. Cause of the tire failures is not known at this time. Supplemental information from acn 98483. 100 KT check and acceleration was normal until just prior to V1 when the aircraft yawed and performance stagnated.

Title: TKOF ABORTED BECAUSE OF ENGINE FAILURE.

Narrative: WE WERE GIVEN RWY 29R AT MSP FOR OUR DEP. THE INITIAL PART OF OUR DEP ROLL WAS NORMAL; WE THEN EXPERIENCED A TIRE FAILURE, FOLLOWED BY AN ENG FAILURE. I ABORTED THE TKOF AND SAFELY STOPPED THE ACFT BEYOND THE DEP END OF THE RWY. THERE WAS NO INJURY, NO EMER EVAC. PAXS WERE BUSSED BACK TO THE TERMINAL. SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION SHOWED BOTH L MAIN TIRES BLOWN AND RUBBER INGESTED INTO THE ENG, CAUSING AN ENG FAILURE. CAUSE OF THE TIRE FAILURES IS NOT KNOWN AT THIS TIME. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 98483. 100 KT CHK AND ACCELERATION WAS NORMAL UNTIL JUST PRIOR TO V1 WHEN THE ACFT YAWED AND PERFORMANCE STAGNATED.
