No Blame Found For Deadly Fire Aboard Carrier
The Navy inquiry found the Constellation fire due to an unforeseeable chain of circumstances not caused by negligence. 49 lives were lost and about 75 million dollars in damage occurred before the blaze was controlled at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Rear Adm. Pyne testified the start was inconceivable to foresee, while the Navy ordered stricter safety measures including removal of fuel tanks on ships and elimination of wooden scaffolding. Witnesses said a forklift pushed a trash bin against a steel plate, tipping a fuel valve and igniting welding work. The inquiry adjourned until next Tuesday.
