I actually saw the dome smoking from my workplace in a skyscraper. (I had also worked at Expo 67!)

@7NTM61Ic I watched it burn fom the 36th floor of Place Ville-Marie (being 19 at the time).

Unfortunately no. I take this footage from a kids movie. L'espion de terre des hommes.

That was actually a broken heart moment for me, I really hoped it would stay up forever. I left Montreal in the 90's, is the skeleton still there?

[Branchporter]

patrickandfrani, I was also saddend by word of the fire. However the dome is still there, but without it's "skin". The pavilion within has been renovated and is now used as an environmental sciences museum called Biosphère. It is still a very attractive and unique landmark.

yes it is, the use it for a museum for the water or something like that.

the skeleton was repaint in the 90's and its in good shape.
