Precisely 24 hours after the start of a fire and a building landmark of the Montréal city landscape and a hundred year old infrastructure blunder has disappeared. An infamous dispute involving the owner of the building seen here in ruins refused expropriation nearly 100 years ago during the construction of the Jacques Cartier Bridge and the main link between the South Shore of Montréal, Québec, Canada leading to the construction of the long curved exit ramp extending into the island. The final vantage point of this video illustrates well the bifurcation of the bridge's lanes to bypass the no longer existant building. A fire broke out at 1600 Ave de l'Orimier at midnight on January 21st 2026 at the basement level before spreading throughout as crews used a defensive procedure to fight the flames. The footage in this video was filmed only 24h later at midnight on January 22nd where the site then resembled a disaster zone and the large 5+ story high building leveled.
