Prosecutors in France have opened an investigation into possible involuntary homicide after at least five people were killed when a roof collapsed at Charles de Gaulle airport, north of Paris.
Giant slabs of concrete, metal, and glass panelling came crashing down on a boarding walkway at the airport's Terminal 2E, crushing five people.
Authorities initially said the accident may have claimed six lives, but they are unsure because the dead remain pinned under the rubble.
The new terminal was inaugurated last June, amid delays caused by security concerns, and trade union accusations that management was rushing the completion deadlines for the building.
