More on the Thiokol explosion.  According to recent reports,
it was not an explosion, it was a FIRE.  The article did confirm
that the SSB's were made at that plant.  (It also makes
Minuteman, MX, and other solid propellant rockets.)

There was no mention of the extent of damage, or what
part of the plant was damaged.
