The UK Border Agency has been criticised for safety failings which could have caused an explosion at Robin Hood Airport. UKBA staff unsafely unloaded and examined explosives at the airport despite being warned not to, the Health and Safety Executive said. The HSE said if the ammunition had been dropped it may have detonated. UKBA has accepted a Crown Censure, the equivalent of a prosecution of a government body, from the HSE. The HSE said 10 people were present and other aircraft nearby when the incident happened at the airport near Doncaster, South Yorkshire, in November 2009.
