the hypothesis of a privileged gas leak

Do we know more, Monday, December 8, about the reasons for the collapse of the building in Sanary-sur-Mer (Var)? “[La fuite de gaz] is the preferred route, because many residents say they smelled a strong smell of gas a few minutes after the explosion, an odor confirmed by some firefighters when they arrived at the incident “, indicates the journalist Saada Soubane, in duplex on the spot.

The security perimeter was extended, on the morning of Wednesday, December 8, to a street parallel to that where the explosion occurred. “Following a decree taken by the town hall, some traders and some residents were evacuated from this street, because their buildings could threaten to collapse”, continues the journalist. Experts are on site to try to understand the causes of the tragedy.
