No One Hurt in Blast at National Semiconductor Plant (Maine - 12/17/04) By Associated Press, 12/17/2004 11:58 SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine (AP) There was an explosion Friday while a tanker truck was unloading hydrogen gas at Fairchild Semiconductor's manufacturing plant, officials said. No one was hurt.

Emergency officials began fielding calls from residents who heard the loud boom at 6:53 a.m. in the vicinity of the plant, which is located near the Portland International Airport.

The delivery truck caught fire but firefighters kept it from spreading, said Mary Kahl, city spokeswoman.

A safety zone was set up at the plant, but no buildings outside the Fairchild complex had to be evacuated. Western Avenue was closed during the morning commute but opened later in the day.

It appears that there was a small leak and that a spark caused the fire, Kahl said. The truck's safety features cut off the flow of hydrogen and the fire was quickly contained, Kahl said.

About 600 people work at the Fairchild plant in South Portland. The company also has operations in Utah, Pennsylvania, China, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea and the Philippines.

Fort Bragg Soldiers Confined in Search for Missing Item (12/17/04)

12/17/2004 10:31 AM By: Associated Press (FORT BRAGG) - It's described as a "sensitive item," and because no one can find it, about 130 82nd Airborne Division soldiers are being confined in their unit area for a week.

Military officials won't describe the item that's missing until the investigation is complete.

The soldiers are assigned to Company C of the Third Battalion of the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment. They are scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan for a year this spring.

The Army confines soldiers to their unit areas to find missing items that have to be accounted for at all times, such as weapons or equipment that is expensive or secret. A division spokesman says each unit can determine what equipment is sensitive.
