Lack of spare parts killed workers
KALKICH. N C
(AP) A shortage
of spam parts at a
poultry plant
where a fire killed 25 people
forced workers to repair worn
hydraulic lines that should
have !>ecn replaced, four former
employees said in a report pub
lished Tuesday
The Sept :i fire at the Imperi
al hood Products chicken pro
cessing plant In Hamlet, about
<♦(> miles southwest of Kuletgh,
began when a hydraulic line
being repaired ruptured and
sprayed flammable fluid on a
gas fired fryer, state Investiga
tors have said
I (inner maintenance worker
David Andrews said he repeat
edly told plant manager fired
Roe, whose father owns the
plant, th.it the lack of spare
parts and equipment created a
safety hazard
' He would always say it was
going to get bettor, we would
gel some parts later on," An
drews said "But, It never got
any I Milter
In separate interviews with
The News Ht Observer of Ha
Icigh. Andrew*, and fellow for
mer maintenance worker. Bill
Billingsley. Johnny Locklear
and Robert Long said they fre
quently had to repair hydraulic
lines because they leaked or
broke away from fittings
A fifth worker. Roger Hall,
who Was Imperial’s mainten
ance manager for six months
last \< .ir. agreed that the high
pressure lines leaked hut said
thev were properly maintained
Imperial bought spare parts
when they were needed, he
said.
"If something had been bust
ed. il something was real un
safe. I feel Brad Roe. instead of
risking lives, would have shut
the plant down and had it
fixed." said Hall, whose wife
was an Imperial supervisor un
til the fire shut down the plant.
Imperial spokeswoman Kelly
Roe in Atlanta said she was un
aware of any complaints about
span* parts She wouldn’t com
ment further
Hall said he fired Billingsley
and Long because they were
unreliable and failed to show
up for work several times
Billingsley said ho quit be
cause he was fed up with the
plant The News & Observer
had no comment from Long,
and the only Kofrort Long listed
in the telephone book never
worked at the plant, said a
woman who answered his
home phone Tuesday night
Locklear, who worked at the
plant for about six months last
year, said he also was fired. He
said maintenance workers fre
quently were asked to work (>
or 7-day weeks and he was too
tired to work the day he was
fired.
The four former workers told
The News Kc Observer the leaks
occurred as often as once a
week.
Hydraulic fluid "would go all
over the side of the machine
and on the floor,” said An
drews, who worked as a main
tenance worker at the plant for
about six months starting late
last year. The newspaper didn’t
say how Andrews’ employment
at the plant ended. There was
no answer Tuesday night at the
listed number of a David An

Henson gets his star
LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Muppots" creator
Jini Henson was honored posthumously Tues
day with a star on the Hollywood Walk of
f ame during a soml>er ceremony.
Actress Daryl Hannah, comedian Ruth Bu/./.i
and "Barney Miller" star Hal Linden joined
200 people for tho Hollywood Boulevard un
veiling on what would have been Henson’s
55th birthday Henson died in May 1090.
If Jim were here, he would have said, ‘This
is neat,"’ Henson's longtime ugent and friond
Bornte Brillstein said at the unveiling of the
1,938th star along the walkway.
No music was played and none of the "Mup
pets" characters appeared.
A double-decker bus bearing a "We miss
Jim" sign rolled past, and green, helium-filled
balloons were released, apparently in reference
to the song "It’s Not Easy Being Green” by Ker
mit the Frog.
Henson is best known for his Emmy-win
ning 1*V series "The Muppet Show,” the ani
mated series "Muppet Babies" and HBO's
"Fraggle Rock.”
