A few meters from the rubble, Lille residents were still struck on Sunday, November 13. The day after the collapse of two buildings, some residents came to offer help. Many of them wonder. “I’m shocked, I stay there a bit stupidly because I don’t understand how such things can be possible“, says a woman. In this area, several old buildings are not always well maintained, according to some tenants who now say they fear for their safety.
“We wonder if our building will hold up“, declares a Lille resident. In this large area, dozens of residents were evacuated on Saturday morning. Two young women, who live just opposite the two collapsed buildings, were only able to take a few clothes, before finding refuge with their family. All businesses in the area also remain closed until further notice. This Sunday evening, the sector is still completely cordoned off. Clearing operations can only begin after the investigations have been completed.
