Explosion in Central Paris Injures Dozens and Damages Buildings

A powerful explosion shook the bustling Latin Quarter in central Paris, causing injuries to approximately 30 people, igniting fires, and causing a building facade to collapse. The incident occurred on Rue Saint-Jacques, near popular landmarks such as Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral and Luxembourg Gardens. Rescue teams are searching for two individuals who may be trapped under the debris. Witnesses described a massive explosion and a towering fireball that engulfed several floors of a building housing the Paris American Academy. Rubble from the damaged structure was scattered across the street. According to the authorities, at least 29 people were injured, with four in critical condition. Soldiers were deployed to establish a safety perimeter around the area.

While it is too early to determine the exact cause of the blast, local deputy mayor Edouard Civel mentioned a potential gas explosion on Twitter. Witnesses reported a strong smell of gas moments before the incident. Shop manager Rahman Oliur, located nearby, described the violent shaking of the shop, resembling a bomb blast. Bar worker Khal Ilsey heard a massive explosion and witnessed a fierce blaze at the end of the street. The explosion took place around 4:55 pm, as people were leaving work. Although the Latin Quarter attracts tourists and foreign students during the early summer, it is not immediately clear if any foreigners were among the injured or missing individuals. As a precaution, several adjacent buildings were evacuated. Even after two hours, first aiders were attending to residents suffering from shock. Television footage showed firefighters battling the blaze with water hoses as thick black smoke rose into the sky. Paris Prosecutor Laure Beccuau mentioned that initial findings suggested the blast originated within the affected building. Investigators will examine whether there were any building regulation violations or negligent actions by individuals.

Over 200 firefighters responded to the emergency. Paris police chief Laurent Nunez later confirmed that the fire had been brought under control. Rue Saint-Jacques, located in the 5th arrondissement, connects Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral with Sorbonne University and the Val de Grace military hospital. It is also close to the popular Jardin du Luxembourg. The Latin Quarter has long been a hub for expatriate and French writers, musicians, and artists. Residents were startled by the blast's shockwave, with art historian Monique Mosser recalling that she thought it was a bomb. Many windows in her building were shattered. Upon receiving evacuation orders, she quickly gathered her belongings, including her laptop and phone, neglecting to take her medication. This incident follows previous incidents in Paris, such as a gas leak explosion in the 9th arrondissement in 2019 that claimed four lives and injured 66 people. Additionally, a fire broke out in the Notre-Dame Cathedral in April 2019, causing significant damage to the roof before being extinguished. Read the full article

#IToldYouSo Last year, when @mountairydowntown announced that this building was sold and was going to be converted to a multi use building, I expressed my concerns about preserving the integrity of the building. Well, well, well. Look at what ended up happening. The massive HVAC unit atop the building fell right through it. Now, that unit has been up there for years, but keep in mind, sometimes it takes that long for structural failures to manifest themselves. That's what happened with the Surfside condominium collapse in Florida. Such failures can be exasperated by any structural changes made during construction. An example of this is what happened to the Hard Rock Hotel in New Orleans. The only difference is the Hard Rock Hotel collapsed due to shoddy construction. This collapse, which is too early to say exactly what happened, was probably due to the heavy HVAC unit, which the building was not designed to handle and, thus, could not handle. And it wouldn't surprise me if the new work in the building was the straw that broke the camel's back. #mountairy #buildingcollapse (at Mount Airy, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfo8B2CAxmy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

According to district government personnel, the workmen had been contracted to demolish the property and had been living there. "On the surface, it appears that the structure has been demolished over the past month," said Nishant Kumar Yadav, the Deputy Commissioner of Gurgaon. Six labourers from Unnao, Uttar Pradesh, were stationed at the back of the construction. The incident occurred in the absence of two workers who had left the area. When the structure fell, four workmen were trapped beneath the rubble. One died, two were successfully recovered, and a third employee who had been injured was rushed to the hospital. The exact cause of the collapse is being investigated. An investigation has begun, and an inquiry committee has been formed.
