The wings collapsed during the night and luckily no injuries were reported
Moulin Rouge Wings, of the world-famous Parisian cabaret, fell overnight from Wednesday to Thursday, firefighters told AFP today, confirming information from the BFMTV channel and a statement from a company representative.
No injuries were reported, Paris firefighters said, adding that there is no longer any risk of collapse. The reasons for this decline are currently unknown.
“We don’t know what happened, it happened between 02:00 and 03:00 a.m. No one was injured,” the company spokesman said, adding that the last show of the day had ended at 01:15 a.m.
“This is the first time such an accident has occurred since its creation on October 6, 1889,” the company told AFP, which had “no information” on the cause of this accident.
“Fortunately, it happened after the closing,” added the same source, stating that “every week, the technical management of the cabaret checks the mechanism of the wings of the mill and had not found any problems.”
The only serious accident that happened to the “cancan dance temple” was a construction fire in 1915, according to the cabaret, which forced it to close for 9 years.
The famous cabaret located at the foot of the Montmartre hill, synonymous with crazy Parisian nights along with the Lido and can-can dancers, and in front of which thousands of visitors take pictures every day, will celebrate its 135th anniversary on October 6.
The Moulin Rouge is open daily and presents two shows every night welcoming 850 visitors or 600,000 annually.
