Gas Leak Forces Building Evacuations
There was a major natural gas leak, downtown, late this morning. 
It happened beside the Palais des Congres, right around Bleury and
St-Antoine streets. 
City crews were doing excavation work and they pierced a gas line. 
The convention centre and the nearby hotel intercontinental were both
evacuated. 
Also, some streets in the area were closed, traffic rerouted.
