A building in central Paris housing an arts and design school, catering mainly to international students, was partially destroyed in a violent blast on Wednesday afternoon.

French Interior MInister Gérard Darmanin told a press conference just before 10 pm local time (1pm PT) that 37 people had been injured, four of them seriously.

At least two people were reported to be missing and Darmanin said rescue services were continuing to search the site.

“It is possible that we will find bodies or people who are still alive tonight,” he said.

Earlier, Paris police chief Laurent Nuñez told a press briefing that the blast took place in a building at 277 Rue Saint-Jacques in the fifth arrondissement at 4.55 pm local time (7.55 am PT).

The address is home to the Paris American Academy.

I’m guessing feral descendants of the French and Indian War.

From the article:

“BFMTV said people in the neighborhood told its reporters that they had smelt a strong gas odor just prior to the explosion, giving rise to the suggestion that it was caused by a gas leak.”

“BFMTV said people in the neighborhood told its reporters that they had smelt a strong gas odor just prior to the explosion, giving rise to the suggestion that it was caused by a gas leak.”>>> The mussies use regular stuff to blow things up. They are destroying all the churches in paris.

.....”..A building in central Paris housing an arts and design school, catering mainly to international students, was partially destroyed.....”

no, it was either destroyed or partially damaged...something cannot be “partially” destroyed...

destroyed:

Destroyed physically or morally.

Spoiled or ruined or demolished.

Thank you.

I didn’t know they were destroying lots of churches in Paris.

I’ll search but if you know of links to good info in English about this I’d appreciate your sharing.

Thanks again.

Gas leak in the metal sculpture lab or the metal casting furnace?

I was thinking a gas explosion. Didn’t know if they used that in France. That will do it.

May G-d help the victims of this terrible event, no matter the cause.
