Old Paris balconies 'pose risk to crowds watching Olympics opening ceremony' (theguardian.com) 2 points by throwaway55479 2y ago ↗ HN
[–] granny-smith 2y ago ↗ Probably a good idea to check the balconies. I've been reading the book "There Are No Accidents" and it mentions a ship tipped over four years after the Titanic because all the people stood on one side of the boat.
