Heavy snow blanketed Paris forcing the closure of the Eiffel Tower and briefly shutting its main airport as sub-zero temperatures turned Scottish roads into deadly ice sheets and Spain and Portugal cleared up after flooding and tornado-like winds. Road, rail and air travellers faced fresh disruption following last week's transport shutdown with Paris's Charles de Gaulle-Roissy airport closed for an hour-and-a-half and the mercury plummeting as low as minus 18.3 degrees Celsius (minus one degree Fahrenheit) at Tyndrum in the Scottish highlands. In Portugal the high winds carried off cars, uprooted trees, tore off roofs and blew over electricity poles Tuesday, leaving around 30 people injured. A second body was recovered in Spain Wednesday following flooding. France's meteorological service France Meteo said 11 centimetres (four inches) of snow fell in central Paris, the heaviest snowfall since 1987. Around 100 flights were prevented from taking off or landing at Roissy airport during the temporary closure while workers cleared the runways of the heavy snow that began falling around midday, airport officials said.
Why did the article appeal to me?
The article appeal to me because it is the headline of today's news. Furthermore, during december every year, monsoon changes and countries like Europe and China will have heavy snow. Around this time every year, newspapers headlines will be people injured because of the heavy snow and airport closes as thick snow prevents them from taking off.
If I am in charge/ in control, would I have done the same or what actions would I have taken?
If I am in charge of the situation, I will also close the airport and try to clear as much snow as pssoible so that planes can continue to take off as quickly as possible. Furthermore, I will warn people not to go out of their houses if possible so as to prevent anymore injuries or incidents from happening.
