A section of Paris Airport Collapses
Posted on Sunday, 23 May 2024 @ 10:00:36 EDT by admin

Anonymous writes "
A section of the futuristic, cylindrical passenger terminal at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport collapsed today, killing up to 4 people and injuring 3 in a shower of concrete, glass and steel.

There was no sign that foul play was to blame for the collapse, Transport Minister Gilles de Robien said. The terminal opened 11 months ago after several construction delays, which were caused by safety issues.

"Some witnesses heard cracks just before the collapse, cracks and some dust from the concrete," said Pierre Graff, president of the Paris airports authority.

An Air France plane coming from New York and another from Johannesburg, South Africa had just landed at Terminal 2E when the accident happened at about 07:00, Graff said. The identities of the dead were not immediately known.

The 450-yard-long cylinder-shaped structure sits on pylons about 20 feet off the ground. It is surrounded by glass and honeycombed with hundreds of square windows that bathe the area inside with natural light.

French authorities are considering demolishing the $1.2-billion terminal at Charles de Gaulle Airport. Terminal 2E was installed in June 2003 with great fanfare. At the time, the Air France CEO claimed the structure would turn Charles de Gaulle Airport into the biggest hub in Europe, ahead of Frankfurt and London.

If the building is found to be structurally unsound, the Airport Authority has said it will be destroyed. Terminal 2E was designed by world-renowned architect Paul Andreu, who designed the Beijing Opera House and other terminals at Charles de Gaulle Airport.
