Is it me or are the French just watching it burn? I have been watching it and I don't see any water being used on it. They are just letting it burn.
It's crazy.....do they not have hoses? Is there not water next to it?

has there been any mention of arson? I recall a couple years ago, there were arrests relating to an Islamic terrorist plot to destroy the building.
I cant even imagine the financial value.....from the stained glass....to the organ....to the extreme detail in the architecture. |

I don't think the Cathedral can be replaced. A part of history destroyed. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Yep, if you haven't visited it when it was still standing....well you probably missed your chance to see it.
Even if they somehow manage to salvage whats left of it, it would be pretty hard to find people with the skills to restore it. |

SOP requires a arson investigation. What's being reported is the fire was likely started by renovation construction. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

It's being reported they can't get close. I haven't heard a reason why. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I think much of America would be shook if St. Patrick's in NYC was destroyed, and it is just a little over 100 years old....it is hard to even gain perspective for over 800 years old. It was over 600 years old when Napoleon was crowned there. |

It was thought of. It won't work.

Quote: | France’s civil security agency says ‘‘all means’’ except for water-dropping aircraft were deployed to tackle the blaze.
The defense agency said those were unsuitable for fires like the one at Notre-Dame because dumping water on the building could cause the whole structure to collapse. |

One of the comments on Twitter reads:
Quote: | The universe is not pleased with the Catholic church and all the molestation of innocent kids.
2019 is the year of redemption! DEBTS must be paid this year. Don't take this lightly.
This happening right before Easter is no coincidence! |
