Fatal explosion shows ‘insanity’ of incinerator’s planned location

A fatal explosion at an Indaver waste plant in Belgium highlights the “insanity” of the company’s proposed incinerator being located close to a bus stop used by college students in Cork harbour, opponents said last night.

Waste management firm Indaver has launched an investigation after one worker was killed and four others were injured in a blast at its flagship Antwerp plant on Thursday.
