Nice sturdy log cabins for everyone!
On NPR on my drive home last night, they were theorizing that the "bold" new cylindrical design of Charles de Gaulle airport's 2E terminal was architecturally sound as long as all of the parts held the right pressure against each other, but that a pylon moving or the deterioration of some building materials may have changed the pressure enough to have caused the collapse. Uh... what the hell? Who is designing buildings these days? People freak out enough about terrorism at the airport - I don't want to be in a building that's going to fall apart all by itself.
Luckily, I'm flying United, which is not an Air France partner and goes into a different terminal. Let's hope other bits of the airport don't start caving in...
Note: For those of you who were concerned, my favorite airline, Gandalf, is safe in 2D.
