Rumours abound about Strasbourg parliament

Ever since the roof caved in in the Strasbourg parliament, rumours have flown back and forth about the state of the building.

The latest gossip is that the steel used to construct the parliament was the same as that used to build Terminal 2E in Charles de Gaulle airport, which collapsed in 2004, killing four people.

If the rumour turns out to be true, and it only is a rumour, it would appear that the Strasbourg Parliament will be out of order for quite some time.
