The crew continued takeoff but at 130 knots another bang was heard with a pronounced left yaw. The crew rejected takeoff and slowed safely reporting to ATC that they suspected a tyre problem and advised a runway inspection would be good.

A runway inspection did not find any debris.

The Canadian TSB reported that the left hand engine (CFM56) was removed from the aircraft for repairs.
