UK’s Latest “Big Project” Disaster: Diana’s Fountain

London’s memorial fountain to Diana, Princess of Wales, opened only last month by the Queen, has turned into a disaster. “The £3.6 million fountain, supposed to express Diana’s spirit and love of children, is closed indefinitely over the school summer holidays after three people were hospitalised in accidents while paddling, among them a child who had to be treated for a head injury. It is the third and most serious stoppage, following break downs due to a malfunctioning pump and ‘a rogue leaf’. An urgent investigation is now under way.”
