Overview
- The fifth-floor floor at 34 bis rue Amelot gave way around midnight, dropping into the apartment below during a gathering of about 50 people.
- Authorities now count one person in critical condition and roughly 14 others with non-life-threatening injuries, after initial tallies of about 20 wounded were revised.
- Roughly 30 square meters of flooring collapsed, and Paris firefighters rescued five people who had been buried in debris.
- About 125–145 firefighters with around 40–45 vehicles secured the site, propped the fourth floor, and confirmed the building’s overall structure remains intact.
- An inquiry led by the 11th arrondissement police and the Paris prosecutor’s office is underway, and nearby buildings evacuated overnight have been reoccupied.
