There was a tragic French real estate accident in Angers, France.
According to this French real estate article in Le Figaro it was during the evening of October 15, 2016, 18 young people fell to the ground when a balcony on the 4th floor of the “Le Surcouf” residence collapsed in Angers city center. The fall of the balcony also collapsed the two balconies on the floors beneath it. You can see the image in the French article here of the building after the balconies fell.
Five people will be tried in court next year before the Angers Criminal Court for homicides and unintentional injuries.
Four people died and fourteen were injured, mostly students.
It reminds us all once again to pay close attention to the quality of construction in French buildings and in fact in buildings anywhere in the world.
