If you're a journalist and the rich and powerful high-ranking government offices and corporate leaders like you enough to invite you to annual dinners where they give you awards, then you are not a journalist. You are stenographer. A mouthpiece of the government.

Journalists who do their job are hated by those they hold accountable. The US government is in the middle of a genocide, has been in a state of emergency for over 20 years, and currently imprisons more people than any other country on earth. If you were a real journalist, they would despise you.

Explosion in Central Paris Injures Dozens and Damages Buildings

A powerful explosion shook the bustling Latin Quarter in central Paris, causing injuries to approximately 30 people, igniting fires, and causing a building facade to collapse. The incident occurred on Rue Saint-Jacques, near popular landmarks such as Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral and Luxembourg Gardens. Rescue teams are searching for two individuals who may be trapped under the debris. Witnesses described a massive explosion and a towering fireball that engulfed several floors of a building housing the Paris American Academy. Rubble from the damaged structure was scattered across the street. According to the authorities, at least 29 people were injured, with four in critical condition. Soldiers were deployed to establish a safety perimeter around the area.

While it is too early to determine the exact cause of the blast, local deputy mayor Edouard Civel mentioned a potential gas explosion on Twitter. Witnesses reported a strong smell of gas moments before the incident. Shop manager Rahman Oliur, located nearby, described the violent shaking of the shop, resembling a bomb blast. Bar worker Khal Ilsey heard a massive explosion and witnessed a fierce blaze at the end of the street. The explosion took place around 4:55 pm, as people were leaving work. Although the Latin Quarter attracts tourists and foreign students during the early summer, it is not immediately clear if any foreigners were among the injured or missing individuals. As a precaution, several adjacent buildings were evacuated. Even after two hours, first aiders were attending to residents suffering from shock. Television footage showed firefighters battling the blaze with water hoses as thick black smoke rose into the sky. Paris Prosecutor Laure Beccuau mentioned that initial findings suggested the blast originated within the affected building. Investigators will examine whether there were any building regulation violations or negligent actions by individuals.

Over 200 firefighters responded to the emergency. Paris police chief Laurent Nunez later confirmed that the fire had been brought under control. Rue Saint-Jacques, located in the 5th arrondissement, connects Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral with Sorbonne University and the Val de Grace military hospital. It is also close to the popular Jardin du Luxembourg. The Latin Quarter has long been a hub for expatriate and French writers, musicians, and artists. Residents were startled by the blast's shockwave, with art historian Monique Mosser recalling that she thought it was a bomb. Many windows in her building were shattered. Upon receiving evacuation orders, she quickly gathered her belongings, including her laptop and phone, neglecting to take her medication. This incident follows previous incidents in Paris, such as a gas leak explosion in the 9th arrondissement in 2019 that claimed four lives and injured 66 people. Additionally, a fire broke out in the Notre-Dame Cathedral in April 2019, causing significant damage to the roof before being extinguished. Read the full article
