and

constituted

on

Brigadier

General

John

Pershing

had

taken

his

columns

into

Mexico

only

a

short

time

before

and

the

need

of

cavalry

troops

was

pressing

Thirtytwo

officers

and

seven

hundred

and

ninetyone

veterans

from

the

and

Cavalry

Regiments

were

transferred

as

the

nucleus

of

the

new

regiment

Many

of

these

were

recalled

from

the

Mexican

Punitive

Expedition

and

since

all

were

experienced

troopers

little

time

was

spent

in

whipping

the

organization

into

shape

The

In

of

the

that

contributed

officers

to

the

formation

of

the

the

historically

represented

dragoons

The

color

green

was

taken

from

the

Their

uniforms

contained

green

facings

in

Arizona

On

May

over

five

weeks

after

the

American

entry

into

World

War

I

the

regiment

received

orders

for

a

change

of

station

due

to

disturbances

along

the

border

of

Arizona

By

May

the

regiment

loaded

up

on

trains

and

traveled

from

El

Paso

to

arrive

at

Douglas

Arizona

on

the

midafternoon

of

The

established

itself

at

Trouble

began

in

the

copper

mining

districts

of

Arizona

as

the

Union

IWW

became

unmanageable

On

July

a

provisional

squadron

under

the

command

of

Lieutenant

Colonel

White

marched

north

to

Globe

Arizona

for

strike

duty

Later

that

month

forest

fires

in

Mormon

Canyon

Turkey

Creek

grew

beyond

the

control

of

the

forest

rangers

prompting

another

call

for

assistance

by

the

civil

leaders

a

detail

of

fifty

men

under

Second

Lieutenant

Arthur

S

Harrington

was

deployed

to

assist

them

The

regiment

would

remain

in

the

Southwest

until

the

end

of

World

War

I

After

the

Armistice

with

Germany

was

signed

in

November

the

regiment

was

under

orders

to

move

to

Hawaii

Among

the

junior

officers

who

served

with

the

was

First

Lieutenant

Lucian

officer

Hawaii

On

April

the

Cavalry

set

sail

from

San

Francisco

on

the

USAT

Sherman

bound

for

Honolulu

and

Schofield

Barracks

The

massive

demobilization

following

the

end

of

World

War

I

would

leave

the

Cavalry

manning

the

garrison

at

Fort

Shafter

and

Schofield

Barracks

until

the

fall

of

Still

the

problem

remained

of

covering

approximately

one

hundred

miles

of

rugged

coast

line

with

one

regiment

of

cavalry

to

effectively

repel

any

attempted

landing

of

troops

from

transports

and

hold

them

off

until

the

arrival

of

reinforcements

With

the

exception

of

the

sector

in

and

around

the

city

of

Honolulu

and

Pearl

Harbor

the

entire

coast

line

of

the

island

was

left

to

the

Cavalry

Regiment

The

regiment

developed

an

intricate

system

of

shielded

lights

and

lines

for

Reorganization

in

resulted

in

a

reduction

of

the

number

of

cavalry

regiments

from

seventeen

to

fourteen

this

included

inactivation

of

the

Cavalry

Lack

of

funds

reduced

personnel

authorization

and

serious

doubts

that

the

mounted

combat

of

large

bodies

of

cavalry

is

probably

a

thing

of

the

past

contributed

to

the

decision

as

well

as

a

new

regimental

organization

that

was

designed

to

reduce

overhead

increase

firepower

and

retain

mobility

Many

old

famous

cavalry

units

came

dangerously

close

to

being

lost

to

the

Army

because

of

organizational

changes

but

a

new

policy

of

retaining

surplus

units

on

the

rolls

The

regiment

left

Schofield

by

truck

for

Honolulu

on

September

and

embarked

on

the

Buford

for

Monterey

California

The

1924 Nixon Nitration Works disaster From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia Coordinates 403218N 742243W The 1924 Nixon Nitration Works disaster was an explosion and fire that claimed many lives and destroyed several square miles of New Jersey factories It began on Saturday morning March 1 1924 when an explosion destroyed a building in Nixon New Jersey an area within presentday Edison New Jersey used for processing ammonium nitrate The 1115 am explosion touched off fires in surrounding buildings in the Nixon Nitration Works that contained other highly flammable materials The disaster killed twenty people destroyed forty buildings and demolished the tiny industrial town of Nixon New Jersey Contents 1 The setting 2 The initial explosion 3 The disaster spreads 4 The human toll 5 The inquiries 6 The aftermath 7 The setting The Nixon Nitration Works which included a number of plants covered about 12 square miles 3100 ha on the Raritan River near New Brunswick in what was then officially known as Raritan Township later changed to Edison and unofficially known as Nixon New Jersey It was originally created by naval architect and industrialist Lewis Nixon in 1915 upon the outbreak of World War I to supply some of the warring nations of Europe with gunpowder and other war materials When the war ended its facilities were put to broader uses involving other explosive materials The company manufactured cellulose nitrate also known as pyroxylinplastic the first plastic Because of its use of nitrate the material is highly flammable At the works cellulose nitrate was maintained in 50by20inch 127 by 51 cm sheets that had been piled in the surrounding buildings Within the Works Nixon leased to the Ammonite Company a storage house located 300 feet 91 m from its buildings Ammonite was using the facility to salvage the contents of artillery shells for use as agricultural fertilizer That salvage occurred after trinitrotoluene better known as TNT was extracted from the shells at the nearby Raritan Arsenal by Columbia Storage Company owned by aeronautic pioneer Charles A Levine The Ammonite building reportedly contained 1 million US gallons 3800 m 3 of ammonium nitrate in storage and fifteen tank cars each holding 90000 US gallons 340000 L of ammonium nitrate in the process of crystallization The initial explosion When the Ammonite building exploded windows for a mile around the scene were broken inward and in many instances doors were blown from their hinges The blast shook Staten Island where business buildings in the Stapleton and St George neighborhoods rocked windows rattled and doors were slammed It was felt in lower New York City Brooklyn and as far away as Mineola New York fifty miles away The disaster spreads In the other buildings on the site the flaming debris from the explosion of the Ammonite plant soon set the cellulose nitrate sheets on fire causing the material to act as a massive blowtorch of blue flames feeding an even greater conflagration Fires began to consume other buildings as well including the offices of the Nitration Works Six hours after the explosion flames were still burning over an area of one square mile Then an even greater disaster was avoided As darkness fell the winds shifted suddenly and began fanning the flames toward freight cars on a siding and toward the Raritan Arsenal located across a fence from the site In the arsenal 500000 highexplosive shells were stored Through the efforts of exhausted firefighters the fire did not reach the arsenal Although four of the arsenals high explosive magazines had been crushed by the explosion and the roofs of two others were blown in the magazines did not explode The human toll Two days after the explosion newspapers reported that eighteen persons were killed two were missing and presumed killed and fifteen others remained hospitalized The blast injured one hundred persons The dead included the wife and three children of an employee of the plant who lived one hundred yards from the scene a stenographer working at the plant and thirteen workmen who were repairing the roof of the building where the blast occurred The inquiries Prosecutor John E Toolan of Middlesex County New Jersey began an inquiry two days after the blast Among those summoned to appear for the inquiry were Lewis Nixon his son Stanhope Wood Nixon and R Norris Shreve then president of the Ammonite Co Secretary of War John W Weeks also ordered an inquiry for the more limited purpose of determining whether the Raritan Arsenal was in any way responsible for the explosion Some theorized that the blast was triggered by small quantities of TNT that remained in the ammonium nitrate at the Ammonite facility after the ammonium nitrate was removed from the shells Lewis Nixon embraced this explanation Ammonite disputed this theory asserting that the average content of TNT in the salvaged ammonium nitrate was only twotenths of one percent However under questioning Shreve acknowledged that this would have caused 120 pounds 54 kg of TNT filtered from ammonium nitrate to flow every day into a small stream on the site and that there might have been several percent of TNT in tanks of ammonium nitrate remaining at the site Major AS Casand commander of the arsenal also disagreed that residual TNT was to blame and believed that the explosion was due to conditions in the plant The aftermath In the immediate aftermath of the explosion federal state and local officials considered whether plants containing explosives should be banned from Middlesex County One month after the disaster Ammonite sued Nixon Nitration Works for 400000 in damages alleging that the explosion was due to the Nixon companys carelessness In 1928 a federal judge dismissed the claims and counterclaims between Ammonite and Nixon Nitration Works leaving Columbia Salvage Company as the only defendant in the suit In April 1924 Ammonite Corporation was indicted on fifteen counts of involuntary manslaughter and initially pleaded not guilty The following year Ammonite pleaded guilty to charges arising from the explosion and was fined a total of 9000 reflecting a 600 fine for each of 15 employees killed in the blast In May 1924 Nixon Nitration Works was ordered to pay 12000 to the widow of a victim who worked for that company Ammonite dissolved in 1926 for reasons attributed to the explosion Ammonite owner R Norris Shreve already a renowned chemical and industrial engineer later joined the faculty at Purdue University where he became a wellrespected scholar author and teacher A residence hall at Purdue is named in honor of Mr and Mrs Shreve Charles A Levine earned a fortune as a result of his companies contracts with the federal government to salvage shells In 1927 he financed an effort to become the first to fly from New York to Paris only to have Charles A Lindbergh reach Paris first while Levines plane was grounded by a restraining order obtained by the navigator he had employed Levine dissolved the injunction freed the plane and became the first transcontinental air passenger reaching Germany from New York in a flight two weeks following Lindberghs Meanwhile the federal government sued Levines companies claiming overcharges for their salvage work Many lawsuits and prosecutions of Levine and his companies followed including prosecutions for counterfeiting French coins conspiring to smuggle Tungsten powder from Canada and smuggling an alien refugee from a German concentration camp into the United States from Mexico The Nixon Nitration Works rose again on the site and returned to the business of cellulose nitrate manufacturing Stanhope Nixon died on September 23 1940 His son Lewis Nixon who assumed control of the business had few of his fathers qualities and many vices After World War II the plastics industry evolved from nitratebased products to acetate based products and the company failed to make the transition In 1951 as the company downsized it gave 48 acres 19 ha of land and a dam to New Brunswick The site of the Works is now a part of Middlesex County College and Raritan Center Industrial Park In 1954 the citizens of Middlesex Countys Raritan Township renamed their community by referendum The name Edison was chosen over Nixon However the Nixon name is still used by the local post office and

Bob McElwee TV announcers CBS Gus Johnson play by play Brent Jones color commentator The low point for the Steelerss season was probably their Week 3 loss to the Browns Against a team that would eventually finish 313 the usually stout Steelers defense allowed Tim Couch to throw for over 300 yards while failing to sack him once Furthermore the game ended with probably the Steelerss biggest gaffe of the season The Brownss woeful offense drove down for touchdowns on each of their first two possessions giving them an early 140 lead A fouryard touchdown run by Richard Huntley helped the Steelers to narrow the deficit to 1410 at the half and Jerome Bettis s 10 yard touchdown run in the third quarter gave the Steelers a 2017 lead However a Phil Dawson field goal tied it at 20 and a 79 yard pass from Couch to Kevin Johnson set up a 19yard chip shot by Dawson to give the Browns a 2320 lead with 248 to go With the Steelers needing at least a field goal to force overtime Kent Graham found Bobby Shaw for a 28yard completion then a 20yard run by Chris FuamatuMaafala put the Steelers inside the 10yard line when they called their final timeout with 30 seconds left The Steelers decided to go for the win and Graham spiked the ball before making the worst play of the day On third and goal from the sixyard line Graham dropped back with the Browns pass rush closing in Rather than throwing incomplete to stop the clock however Graham allowed rookie DE Courtney Brown to sack him meaning that the Steelers had no way to stop the clock without running another play In the ensuing chaos the Steelers sent out kicker Kris Brown to attempt a gametying field goal with Graham as the holder since he was already on the field and they failed to get their formation set before time ran out resulting in a loss Week 4 Sunday September 24 2000 vs Tennessee Titans 1 2 3 4 Total Titans 10 0 3 10 23 Steelers 3 3 0 14 20 at Three Rivers Stadium Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Game time

Steelers were in a mustwin situation upon returning home to face the Titans With Steve McNair suffering a bruised sternum in the Titanss previous game it would be former Steelers QB Neil ODonnell getting the start against his former team While the defense harassed ODonnell who completed less than half his passes 1327 with three interceptions the Steelers trailed for much of the game with the team down 136 late in the third However Kent Graham completed a 17yard pass to Hines Ward who went down just before the goal line On the first play of the fourth quarter Kordell Stewart subbed in for Graham and jumped over the Titans line for the gametying touchdown A fiveyard touchdown run by Jerome Bettis made it 2016 Steelers late With three minutes to go Jason Gildon sacked ODonnell knocking him out of the game With ODonnell hurt Steve McNair who dressed for the game but was not expected to play with a bruised sternum came in despite his injury All McNair did was drive the Titans down the field in four plays hitting Erron Kinney for the goahead touchdown with 131 to go On the next play from scrimmage Graham was hit after completing a 20 yard pass to Chris FuamatuMaafala and also had to leave the game due to injury forcing Kordell Stewart to take over at QB Although Stewart only went 14 on the drive he did manage to put the Steelers in field goal range with a 16 yard run However kicker Kris Brown s potential gametying 50yard field goal was short Week 5 Sunday October 1 2000 at Jacksonville Jaguars 1 2 3 4 Total Steelers 7 10 7 0 24 Jaguars 3 3 0 7 13 at Alltel Stadium

in Jacksonville With Kent Graham out with an injury Kordell Stewart received his first start of the season coming off losing his starting job after two muchmaligned seasons However to the pleasant surprise of the team and the fans Stewart demonstrated his form of old completing 10 of 16 passes albeit for only 132 yards no touchdowns and one interception and running for 61 more Jerome Bettis added 97 yards rushing with 2 touchdowns and the Steelers jumped out to a 246 lead During the game rookie WR Plaxico Burress caught a third down pass and went down without being touched He spiked the football to celebrate but since he was never touched down the ball remained live in play and the Jaguars recovered the fumble with linebacker Danny Clark returning the ball 44 yards to the Steelers 27 yard line In spite of this miscue being one of the worst plays of the NFL season the Steelers even survived this setback without points On 4th and 3 inside the 10 Jaguars coach Tom Coughlin elected to go for it with his team down 18 and Earl Holmes upended Jaguars quarterback Mark Brunell leaving him a yard short of a first down Week 6 Sunday October 8 2000 at New York Jets 1 2 3 4 Total Steelers 3

Pittsburgh the Raiders were favored to win the first RaidersSteelers game in Pittsburgh since 1980 What instead ensued was a very exciting contest featuring vicious hits gutsy play and a gameending controversy that recalled the glory days of the RaidersSteelers rivalry in the 1970s In the first quarter Kordell Stewart threw a 19 yard touchdown pass to Bobby Shaw for a 70 lead However the Steelers fell behind 177 in the second quarter An calf injury to Stewart forced him to the sidelines and in his relief appearance Kent Graham threw a pass that was intercepted by Eric Allen and returned 27 yards for a touchdown Then with 106 to go in the half Rich Gannon found tight end Randy Jordan on a screen pass for a 21 yard touchdown make the score 177 Raiders at the half In the second half Kordell Stewart returned to play despite his injury and drove the Steelers down to the Raiderss 6 yard line This drive featured a play where Stewart fumbled at his own 14 yard line but recovered the ball and escaped the Raiders for 17 yards On second and goal Stewart threw a pass in the right flat to tight end Mark Bruener at the 1 when Raiders safety Calvin Branch went into Breuner at full speed and shoved him backwards towards the 5 Unwilling to be stopped short Breuner fought back and dragged Branch into the end zone with him just before he could be shoved out of bounds making the score 1714 On the first play of the fourth quarter Stewart ran for a 17 yard touchdown for the Steelers to regain the lead 2117 Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski kicked a 42 yard field goal to make it 2120 but with 4 minutes to play missed another field goal that would have given the Raiders the lead The Raiders got the ball back with 139 left with one last chance to win the game Rich Gannon completed passes to receivers James Jett and Andre Rison for 11 and 14 yards then found Tim Brown to convert a fourth down at midfield The game came down to a controversial call The Raiders had a fourth and one at the Steelers 41 yard line but the sideline crew was slow to switch the down markers from 3 to 4 so Raiders quarterback Rich Gannon called for a pass out in the flat to fullback Jon Ritchie The Steelers blitzed and forced Gannon to throw incomplete when the Raiders began to challenge their turnover on downs Referee Tom White conferred with scorekeeper Charles Heberling to review the down and distance for the previous four plays and Heberling confirmed that because the previous play was in fact fourth down in spite of what was labeled the Steelers would be awarded the ball During the game Raiders lineman Regan Upshaw confronted punter Josh Miller after a Steelers punt and spat at him While Upshaw was not penalized as the refs did not see the incident CBS cameras did and Upshaw was fined nearly 30000 after the game On the ESPN highlight show NFL Primetime rather than being shown and recapped with one of the shows standard themes the highlights were set to the NFL Films songs A Golden Boy Again and Raiders Theme to commemorate the final RaidersSteelers matchup at Three Rivers Stadium as well as the final game from Three Rivers they would show a highlight from

Steelers were blown out against the Giants in New Jersey The Steelers allowed 333 yards passing from Giants quarterback Kerry Collins and the Steelers were held to just 47 yards rushing The Giants held a 133 lead at halftime and extended their lead to 203 after a Collins touchdown pass to Ike Hilliard The Steelerss best play of the game in fact came on what appeared to be yet another bad play for the team Kerry Collins completed a pass to a wideopen Hilliard and he cut to the middle of the field appearing to break free for what would be a 66 yard touchdown when fullback Greg Comella flattened Steelers safety Ainsley Battles on a block inside the 10 but somehow Battles rolled into position and tripped up Hilliard at the 7 yard line and a sure Giants touchdown became a field goal to make it 233 Battless miraculous tackle gave the Steelers one more chance to stay in the game and Kordell Stewart drove the Steelers inside the 10 yard line but on fourth and goal Stewart was intercepted by Reggie Stephens to effectively end any remaining hope the Steelers had Collins then drove the Giants down the field and threw an insurance touchdown to Amani Toomer to make it 303 The loss put the Steelers at a major disadvantage in the AFC playoff race With the Steelers at 77 the Titans having clinched the division and the Steelers two games behind the 6 wild card spot in the AFC the Steelers would have to win out and get major help from other teams in order to qualify for the playoffs Week 16 Saturday December 16 2000 vs Washington Redskins 1 2 3 4 Total Redskins 3 0 0 0 3

Sunday of the 2000 season the Steelers needed a win a Jets loss and a Colts loss in order to earn the last available Wild Card berth in the AFC playoffs With the Jets losing to the Ravens in a 100 game the Steelers were still alive when their matchup with the 114 Chargers started Early on in the game the Chargers demonstrated the potential for an upset bid On the Chargerss first play from scrimmage quarterback Ryan Leaf threw a 71yard touchdown to Jeff Graham and while Steelers kick returner Will Blackwell answered with a 98 yard kickoff return for a touchdown on the next play the Chargers held a 147 lead after one quarter with Rodney Harrison returning a Kordell Stewart interception 63 yards for a touchdown However the Steelers scored 17 unanswered points in the second quarter and never relinquished the lead Although Stewarts passing statistics were relatively pedestrian 1632 190 yards and 1 touchdown against 2 interceptions he ran for 91 yards and 2 touchdowns and the Steelers held the Chargers to less than 200 yards of total offense while sacking Ryan Leaf six times Other than the aforementioned touchdown on the first play Leaf played poorly as usual going 1529 for 171 yards with a touchdown and an interception giving him only 100 yards passing after his first play To top it off he lost a fumble on the last Chargers possession which turned out to be his last snap as a Charger Following the game Leaf stormed out of the locker room without speaking with reporters Although the Steelers did their part in winning against the hapless Chargers the Colts got a big break with their matchup against the Vikings With the Giants having clinched the 1 seed in the NFC the previous day and the Saints having clinched the NFC West with a worse record than the Vikings the Vikings could not advance their playoff seed in the playoffs As a result the Vikings rested many of their starters including Daunte Culpepper and Randy Moss after the first quarter of their game against the Colts and the Colts capitalized with an easy 3110 win This result meant that the Steelers would fail to qualify for the playoffs for the third consecutive season Standings AFC Central talk
