The Biggest Industrial Disaster in Malta's History

The Biggest Industrial Disaster in Malta's History

On February 2, 1995, a blast rang out at the Malta Drydocks.

The Um el Faroud, a Libyan oil tanker, had exploded "like a tin can". Nine people lost their lives.

30 years on, we revisit that disaster with the help of two people who were among the first to reach the scene: court analyst and University of Malta Rector Alfred Vella and Times of Malta deputy online editor Chris Scicluna.

This episode was produced by Mark Laurence Zammit, written by Matthew Bonanno and edited by Karl Andrew Micallef.
