Abstract

The article reports that the French Minister of Transport released the conclusions of the technical investigation into the tragic collapse of Terminal 2 E at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, France. Highly critical, the report says that the structure had been slowly deteriorating since its inauguration in June 2003. On the morning of May 23,2004, a 33-foot-long section of Terminal 2E collapsed, killing four people. The long, tubular structure was designed by Paul Andreu, who was at the time director of architecture for the airport.
