Aircraft
First Officer and I were cleared to taxi to runway after getting De-Iced. We were cleared for takeoff. I called for the before takeoff checklist and we lined up on the runway. We performed a static takeoff doing a clearing run of the engine before releasing the brakes. The plane rolled down the runway and at around 100-110 knots I noticed the ART fire out of the corner of my eye. Around that same time there were multiple very loud 'BANGS' associated with a very violent shimmy. The N1 indication on the number 2 engine was dashed out. First Officer called out 'Right Engine' and I called for the abort. We did the appropriate rejected takeoff profile and once the plane was under control we exited the runway. During this time I asked the First Officer (FO) to call to the back to make an announcement and talk to the flight attendants. The flight attendants told us there was heavy smoke in the cabin.  Without hesitating the First Officer immediately asked if it was increasing or going away. They informed us that the smoke was dissipating. I called tower and asked for fire rescue to meet the aircraft. Tower asked us to switch to Ground Control at this time. At this point I said something along the lines of 'ok take a breath what do we got; what do we need to do?'  We took time to identify what was going on. I noticed the oil quantity on the #2 engine was at 0 and immediately shut it down. I called for the QRH for rejected takeoff. We completed that checklist and then I called for the Low Oil Pressure QRH.  Once that was completed we taxied back towards the gate. Fire Rescue asked us to hold off pulling into the gate until they could verify the integrity of the aircraft. They quickly gave us the ok and we proceeded to the gate.Once at the gate I made an announcement to the passengers explaining what had occurred and apologized for it happening. I instructed them to collect their things and head into the terminal where they would be warmer and more comfortable. When I opened the flight deck door I had a very hard time seeing the back of the plane due to the smoke. The fire department went around the aircraft as we were deplaning with a thermal camera to verify there was no fire. I called dispatch and let them know that we had an [a situation] and I would call them back with the details.Around this time the flight attendant came up holding her chest complaining of having a hard time breathing. I immediately sent her to a paramedic where they administered oxygen and took her vitals. Once the passengers were off the aircraft I shut it down and secured it. The First Officer and I went outside to assess the damage. We immediately noticed the nose bullet of the engine sitting in the cowl. It had completely broke off and seemed to be wedged under the fan blades.  There was visible damage/dents around the inside of the engine cowl. We also noted oil accumulated under the engine and all over the nacelle. We went back inside where I checked on the flight attendant and we gathered the crew together to make sure everyone was ok. We had a debrief with each other to see where we could have done things better; if they noticed anything else; and discussed the event. They all did a fantastic job. I couldn't off asked for a better crew to handle the situation.This was an unpredictable event that I am not sure could have been prevented. I guess better Maintenance practices and inspections of our equipment could help prevent it. The plane had a service check the day before. From the pictures it looks like all 15 screws that held the Nose bullet on cracked the same way. Maybe when the Maintenance team does their morning checks they could look for stress fractures or signs of wear and tear on these screws to verify they don't need to be replaced.
