An American Airlines Airbus A321-200, registration N575UW performing flight AA-588 from Charlotte,NC to Phoenix,AZ (USA), was accelerating for takeoff from Charlotte's runway 36C when the crew rejected takeoff at low speed (about 70 knots over ground) due to the failure of the right hand engine (V2533). The aircraft slowed safely, stopped on the runway for about 5 minutes. The crew subsequently recommended to sweep the runway until the point they came to stop at about 700 meters/2300 feet down the runway.
