MICHAEL HOLMES, WORLD NEWS: Rescue workers in Spain are searching for a missing person after an explosion ripped apart a fireworks factory. At least five people were killed, and eight injured by the blast in the southeastern province of Valencia. CNN's Al Goodman reports it is not the first accident at that factory.</s>AL GOODMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The fireworks factory was located on the outskirts of the village of Rafelcofer on a forested hillside, which caught fire immediately after a series of explosions. Helicopters dropped water on the blaze, while ambulances rushed injured factory workers to hospitals. Spanish radio reported 100 tons of explosives may have been stored at the plant, a mid-sized fireworks factor like dozens of others in the region. The town's mayor said the factory has passed safety inspections, but a leading Spanish union said not all safety regulations were being observed in the plant. One worker died in an explosion at the same factory nine years ago. This time the toll was much deadlier. Officials will now try to determine exactly what went wrong. Al Goodman, CNN, Madrid.
