Part of Downtown Montreal Is Flooded After Water Pipe Breaks

Huge amounts of water poured into Montreal’s downtown streets after a large pipe broke on Friday, forcing officials to tell residents in parts of Canada’s second-largest city not to drink the tap water.

The flooding occurred near the entrance to the Jacques-Cartier Bridge, where a geyser of water rose high into the air, inundating the neighborhood. The area is not far from Montreal’s financial district.
