I’m surprised that the headline isn’t just “Paris’s oldest covered food market burns down”. If something burns down, it’s not necessary to specify that it burned in a fire. That’s kind of implied by the word “burns”.
Of course, “Flood burns down Paris’s oldest covered food market” would be quite a sensational headline, but not one I’m likely to see in my lifetime.
Not the same at all, but I’m reminded of that incident in Lisbon a couple hundred years ago where an earthquake caused lit candles to start fires everywhere, but also a tsunami, which then flooded the place.
I suppose, with a freaky enough series of incidents, anything could happen!
Hopefully the flood followed immediately after the fire?
Like god slightly apologizing, but with a fat and clumsy finger.
Possibly due to non native English speakers
Just be glad they published it in English for you to be able to read it.
I now understand less about what may have happend
