Not sure what to make of this one really... Certainly taints the brand of Thomas Cook, if only for the shocking way the whole thing seems to have been handled - never mind the tragic deaths of the children involved....

After nearly 10 years, Thomas Cook was found to have "breached its duty of care" at an inquest last week, with jurors concluding that its health and safety audit of the hotel was "inadequate".

So it seems like the deaths of the two children in Corfu from carbon monoxide poisoning in their villa were as much corporate negligence as tragic accident.
