A Cargojet Boeing 757-200, registration C-GVAJ performing freight flight W8-919 from Cincinnati,KY (USA) to Calgary,AB (Canada) with 2 crew, was enroute at FL360 about 110nm west of Minneapolis,MN (USA) when the crew observed a momentary EGT exceedance of the left hand engine (RB211) and requested to divert to Hamilton,ON (Canada). The aircraft descended to FL350 and turned east. On final approach to Hamilton's runway 12, when thrust was increased from idle, the crew heard a bang from the left engine, reduced the thrust again and increased again followed by a second bang and the failure of the engine.
