In 2004, a section of Terminal 2E at Paris's Charles de Gaulle Airport collapsed, resulting in four fatalities and several injuries. Investigations attributed the disaster to design flaws and construction defects. The reconstruction, completed in 2008 at a cost of €150 million (AUD 250 million), was fully covered by Decennial Liability Insurance (DLI), also known as Latent Defects Insurance (LDI). This incident underscores the critical role of LDI in mitigating financial risks associated with structural failures.
