Cologne opens new city archive, 12 years after fatal collapse. “The western German city of Cologne on Friday inaugurated its new historical archive, 12 years after a subway construction mishap collapsed the former building.

Two people were killed and irreplaceable historical documents of the 2,000-year-old city were buried in the rubble.”
