Blowtorch Blamed as Fire Breaks Out on France's Nuclear Carrier

A fire broke out on Monday aboard the Charles de Gaulle, France's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, while it sat in maintenance at Toulon naval base.

The carrier has been in a technical stop since late August and is due back in early December.
