The top three floors of the structure collapsed onto the street. The wind rushed into the protective tarpaulin of the scaffolding and weakened the structure.
This Sunday, November 24 in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, the upper part of a scaffolding collapsed on the road, at rue des Poissonniers, around 8:30 p.m.
The three highest floors of the 18-meter scaffolding, attached to a six-story building, fell to the ground, firefighters told our colleagues at BFMTV.
The wind, which would have blown into the protective tarpaulin of the scaffolding, would have unbalanced the structure. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. Firefighters were on site until 11:30 p.m.
