Outdated Cooling Tower Collapses at Haifa Oil Refinery (+Video)
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – An outdated water cooling tower at Israel’s Haifa oil refinery collapsed on Friday morning.
The water tower has not been in use since 2009 and had recently been showing signs of deterioration.
According to Jerusalem Post, citing a representative from the BAZAN Oil Refineries Ltd, a wall segment of the tower fell two days before the incedent.
The tower, part of a set of two, was built during the British Mandate. The second tower is used as a visitor center, where training tours are held for the Haifa oil refinery.
No injuries were reported at the time of the event.
