Severely EFL
 A government-appointed board of inquiry investigating the partial collapse of a Paris airport terminal [the futuristic Terminal 2E at Charles de Gaulle airport] found serious errors in construction, including concrete that had not been sufficiently reinforced. Airports of Paris, the company that operates the major airports in the capital, said it had not received a copy of the report and had no other comment. Falling glass, steel and masonry killed four travelers - two Chinese, one Czech and one Lebanese - and injured three others on May 23, 2004 when a roof collapsed in the departure hall. A preliminary report by experts released in July said that a weakness in the concrete that formed the terminal's vaulted roof may have contributed to the collapse. |
