New cracking sounds heard at Charles de Gaulle
New cracking sounds were heard today in the terminal at Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport where a deadly roof collapse killed four people yesterday.
The terminal was quickly evacuated of people working inside, an airport official said.
Terminal 2E has been indefinitely closed since a 98 foot section of the roof caved in about 6am Irish time yesterday, but investigators, police and others were working inside.
When new cracking sounds were heard, it was evacuated.
“We feared that there would be another problem,” said Corinne Bokobza, of the airport authority, known as ADP.
“We’re taking no risks.”
She said that she did not know how many people were ordered out of the futuristic building.
Four people were killed in Sunday’s collapse. Officials lowered the death toll from five.
