...limiting a death toll that otherwise might have been in the hundreds. Others suggested the crash might prevent the airport from servicing the new superjumbo Airbus A380 when deliveries begin in 2006, or that it might even imperil Airbus' entire A380 project. That seems farfetched, since de Gaulle (like Frankfurt and Heathrow, which will welcome the first A380 flights by Singapore Airlines), is building the new S3 terminal largely custom-tailored to the A380's needs. Still, the spectacular collapse of 2E's midsection has some wondering whether style didn't undermine solidity. Paul Andreu - ADP's main architect over...
...opened to great fanfare just 11 months ago, terminal 2E at France's Charles de Gaulle airport was not only hailed as a stylish triumph of innovative yet practical design; the €750 million complex was supposed to transform Paris into "the most powerful hub in Europe, ahead of Frankfurt and London," boasted Air France CEO Jean-Cyril Spinetta. At full capacity, the terminal's twinned, 650-m-long main structures could handle 10 million passengers a year.

"It took us over a month to get German officials to approve certain requests," says a French counterterrorism official, recalling cooperation between France and Germany in 2000 to thwart a planned attack on the Strasbourg Christmas market by a Frankfurt-based cell. "And that was only after we'd provided clear, irrefutable proof France was being targeted for attack. It's really frustrating dealing with them." Manfred Murck, deputy director of the Hamburg office of the BfV, defends the federal system's advantages. It enhances local intelligence gathering, he argues...
...score of 100. So, for example, costs run almost 24% higher in Japan. The U.S. ranked No. 7, as it did two years ago, when the survey was previously conducted. Among major cities, Montreal, Melbourne and Toronto proved most affordable. On the other end of the scale, Yokohama, Japan; Frankfurt, Germany; and London cost the most. And then, for the true tightwad, there is the cheapest of the cheap: Sherbrooke, a city of 138,000 in Quebec. Everyone say bon marche...
