00:00 A shocking and sudden transformation of one of Paris`s most iconic sites. The sails of
00:07 the fabled cabaret venue, the Moulin Rouge, mysteriously tumbled to the ground overnight
00:12 without causing any injuries. Locals and tourists watched as workers began to repair the damage
00:18 to the 19th century facade.
00:19 It`s a symbol of Montmartre. It`s the bohemian, it`s Montmartre, the village, Paris, the whole
00:25 world comes to take a picture at the foot of the Moulin Rouge. It`s going to be a unique
00:30 picture to take without the wings. But I think that the management of the Moulin Rouge will
00:35 do its best to put the wings back on quickly.
00:39 It`s good that nobody was injured. It`s a great luck. And yes, I think it`s not that difficult
00:45 to replace. It`s going to take a little time and it`s going to be weird for all the tourists.
00:50 It`s still not clear what caused the sails to fall off the wooden structure, but the
00:55 management company said it appeared to have been a technical problem rather than a malicious
00:59 act.
