What part of the museum flooded?

Dozens of valuable paintings and frescoes were badly damaged when rainwater poured through a roof at the state museum. As freak rainstorms lashed in the central and southern sections of the state, part of the museum’s roof which was scheduled to be repaired collapsed and water cascaded into two storerooms.

Lufthansa said Tuesday that traffic in the first seven months of this year rose 16.8 percent, helped by increased demand on Asia-Pacific routes, as well as gains in Europe and on African and Middle East routes. The German carrier swung to a first-half net profit of 39 million euros from a loss of 392 million in the first half of 2003. This too was below an average analyst forecast of 105 million euros.
