Morton Thiokol blamed in fatal MX missile plant fire
The Air Force report blamed Morton Thiokol Inc for a fatal December 29 MX missile plant fire in Salt Lake City. It found the firm failed to provide an adequate remote control system and did not fully implement other safety measures after a near miss six months earlier. Five workers died while manually removing the steel core from the first stage as propellant had been poured and hardened. The plant’s remote control system, including a video monitor for bunker operation, could not be used as specified due to design deficiencies.
