PARIS (May 23) - A section of the futuristic, cylindrical passenger terminal at Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport collapsed Sunday, killing up to six people and injuring three in a shower of concrete, glass and steel.

There was no sign that foul play was to blame for the collapse, Transport Minister Gilles de Robien said. The terminal opened 11 months ago after several construction delays, which French television station LCI said were caused by safety issues.

"Some witnesses heard cracks just before the collapse, cracks and some dust from the concrete,'' said Pierre Graff, president of the Paris airports authority.

Where good strong building exist is where the Light of the Lord was during the construction.

France has removed or dismantled it protection because of it government.

During the 9/11 hearing Tom Mckain swore in a witness and omitted "So help me God!"

We as mortals have no absolute that we swear to God our words are true.

Watching the Global world shun the Creator will have little support in their endevors.
