      Is there another source reporting that?

      Edit: this is probably a side effect of federation, but at least four people have confirmed it’s most likely a gas leak.

          A student at Ecole des Mines on Boulevard Saint-Michel told Le Parisien: “I was in front of the Val de Grâce, I heard a huge boom and I saw a ball of fire 20 or 30m high. And the building collapsed with a huge noise. I smelled gas, but took several minutes to come to my senses.”
