‘Flying by the seats of our pants’: Why did two men die at one of England’s most highly regulated environmental hazard sites?

One freeport. Two dead men. Multiple regulatory failures.

Their families know how they died, but not why. In a new investigation, ENDS can reveal the operational failures at the site of their deaths that went unnoticed by regulators.
