In Paris, the mill wheel of the Moulin Rouge collapsed on Thursday night; the incident is said to have occurred between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. No one was injured in the accident. The Variety Theater is one of the sights of Paris and is world famous.
The wings on the roof of the iconic French monument collapsed on Thursday evening for unknown reasons. According to the fire department, no one was injured in the accident. There is no risk of a new collapse, the Paris fire brigade told the AFP news agency.
Iconic neon sign curved on the ground
The facade of the cabaret was damaged in the incident; the first three letters of the neon sign were also removed. Photos on social media showed parts of the sign on the street, some of which were bent.
One of the city’s main attractions
The Moulin Rouge cabaret with its characteristic red windmill blades is located in the north of Paris and is one of the most visited attractions in the city. It is considered the birthplace of the modern dance form Can-Can. The only serious accident to date at the monument was a fire that broke out during construction work in 1915, forcing the restaurant to close for nine years.
The current accident occurred just months before the Olympic Games, which are held in the French capital from July to August. The incident is raising concerns in Paris, already one of the most visited cities in the world, about the influx of tourists in the summer.
