On 29 May 2014, a Bombardier C series CS100, registration C-FBCS, serial number 50001, with 2 pilots and 4 test engineers on board was conducting engine ground runs at the Montréal International (Mirabel) Airport, Quebec. During the test, at 1837 Eastern Daylight Time, the left engine (Pratt & Whitney Canada model PW1524G) experienced a sudden power loss caused by an uncontained turbine rotor failure. After having been advised of smoke and fire from the engine, the crew immediately secured the engine and declared an emergency. All personnel on board evacuated the aircraft. Bombardier ground personnel successfully extinguished the fire. There were no injuries, but the engine and aircraft sustained substantial damage.
