Description

Oni Bhattacharya reports on how the relatives of those who died from a legionnaires’ disease outbreak in London may not be able to claim compensation, because the cause of the outbreak cannot be pinpointed. Catherine(?) O’Mara, whose father died, expresses frustration; her brother, Frank O’Mara, speaks of the anger he feels about his father’s death, and says the water cooling towers need to go.
