article_snippet.sent: Thomas Magner, a boiler expert hired to investigate by Thomas Cook identified a series of blunders, the inquest heard.
article_snippet.sent: the gas-fired hot water boiler had been installed without a ‘chimney’ or flue to take out unwanted fumes.
article_snippet.sent: Second, a ‘protection device’ designed to cut out the gas-fired hot water boiler if it overheated had been disabled as late as the day before the tragedy, to avoid a worker having to come and relight the gas-fired hot water boiler when it was tripped off, the inquest heard.
article_snippet.sent: There was also a water leak which caused the gas-fired hot water boiler to work longer and dangerous gases to build up.
article_snippet.sent: a water leak which caused the boiler to work longer and dangerous gases to build up should have been obvious from the rust but a water leak which caused the boiler to work longer and dangerous gases to build up was not fixed.
article_snippet.sent: the inquest was told problems with the gas-fired hot water boiler were first reported five months earlier.
article_snippet.sent: Boilers at the hotel had been installed about eight years before the tragedy and evidence indicated dangerously faulty boilers throughout the site.
