Probable cause
Complete loss of No. 2 engine power due to a partial rim failure of the 2nd stage turbine wheel, resulting in No. 2 engine shutdown and turbine debris exiting the side of the engine. The wheel failure mechanism could not be determined due to missing turbine components that were not recovered despite two ground search attempts.
