Even before the concourse opened, supporting pillars were repaired and reinforced after fissures appeared - and even that failed to prevent the audible cracking and widespread leaks that preceded the cave-in. Cracking elsewhere in the departure structure was heard after the collapse, forcing administrators to close the entire building. Even in the best of cases, says CDG director René Brun, 2E will remained closed for "months, even a year." The crash has even further-reaching business ripples. For years...
