Sadly, you are spot on.

Notre Dame is gone. Forever.

The guy I heard, if it’s the same one, was ranting about feces being smeared on something or other. I’m surprised he didn’t start off with, “Hey, Cavuto. I’m a long time listener, first time caller!”

Do you know if a fire of this sort can be so hot that it might make the stone parts unstable for future use, as foundation and walls of a rebuild?

Unbelievable! Now Neil Cavuto rudely cut off Bill Donohue when he mentioned this: Twelve French Churches Attacked, Vandalized in One Week This is obviously a directive from the FNC honchos!

Both Shep and Cavuto are treading very softly. They saw what happened to Judge Jeanine when she just wanted to start a conversation on that Muslim Congresswoman regarding whether the Muslims can support the US Constitution. Must not show that the emperor has not clothes!

I saw the fire at the towers burning when they first aired the cathedral itself on fire. I doubt any of it will be saved including the towers still burning.

I think it was more like a hour. The crowds supposedly got in the way, which sounds like BS to me. Now the fire fighters are saying they were there at the start, helping the people in the building get out of it. Apparently a river runs right through the complex, ironically.

Doesn’t look like they’re going to be able to save any of the rest of it, either.

Total destruction.

It really takes up almost all of the Ile de la cite. I remember buying gelato right next to it about ten years ago and remember how it loomed over the area.

Apparently renovation goes on there all the time, so timing the fire for renovation seems dubious.

Guess it's not fake:

Attacks, vandalism rise on French churches Shattered statues, satanic symbols, arson increasingly common

The mortar between the stone can be eroded, like mortar on a brick house needs pointing over time. The hear of this blaze couldcause rapid mortar deterioration. Fires I have seen in NYC involving 100+ year old stone and brick buildings have seen the walls collapse even when there was no woodframing. So, yeah even the bell towers could go if the Frogs can’t get a handle on this.

…and just like that a major piece of Western Civilization is gone.

Very, very sad day...

When this is over, I hope we have some resignations on the part of the French government. Macron is really getting his head handed to him over at Twitter.

My husband said the same earlier re: some heads will roll over this. Glad to hear Macron is getting it on Twitter!

One of my early training films showed how quickly a fire can spread.

In less than five minutes a modern day living room has temperature over 1000 degrees.

The flashover point was incredible to watch.

With a building as old as Notre Dame I can only imagine the fire load.

A fire extinguisher would only be useful if you were right there when it started.
