In an article entitled “ Architectural Disasters” Tim Alatorre writes in July 2009:
“On May 23, 2004, a 33 foot section of the Charles-de-Gaulle Airport terminal in France collapsed killing four people and injuring 3, just 11 months after going into service. The main cause of the failure was determined to be poor detailing between the building facade and the structure.”
