de Gaulle airport collapse

ROISSY, France (AP) - A huge portion of the vaulted roof of the new passenger terminal at Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport collapsed Sunday, killing at least five people and injuring three in a shower of concrete, glass and steel.

Tons of material from the roof of the futuristic, cylindrical Terminal 2E, which sits on pylons, fell onto a waiting area and pulled the outer walls down. Several parked cars underneath were smashed.

It was probably built by the same people who built Olympic Stadium.

Edit: my bad; I thought Montreal's airport was named de Gaulle.

They sure have had a string of bad luck this past year. Poor bastards.
