La démolition du clocher de Rosbruck a démarré ce mardi. L’édifice est grignoté bloc de pierre par bloc de pierre. La croix en métal, fixée au sommet en 1953, a été déposée au sol… sous les yeux de Victor Bour qui l’avait installée.
Images of demolition crews working on the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore harbor, Maryland, which was destroyed in seconds last Tuesday when a cargo ship lost power and hit a bridge support column, killing six people. Authorities hope that removing the bridge -- by cutting it into smaller sections and lifting them out -- will help rescuers recover all the victims' bodies and eventually reopen the crucial shipping lane.

Authorities on the French Indian Ocean island of Mayotte on Monday begin demolishing homes in a large slum in an operation against sub-standard housing and illegal migration. France has deployed hundreds of police officers and gendarmes in Mayotte -- the country's poorest department -- since April to prepare a major security measure called Operation Wuambushu ("Take Back" in the local language). Diggers started destroying the sheet-metal shacks in the Talus 2 slum in the Majicavo area at around 7:30 am (0430 GMT) on Monday. IMAGES

The operation, called Operation Wuambushu ("Take Back" in the local language), aims to improve living conditions for Mayotte locals in France's poorest department, one of several French overseas territories that span the Caribbean to the Pacific.
