Vandals plain and simple. If these wacky ideas being talked about come to pass would have preferred the whole structure be burned to the ground.

Why not Solar Panels and a Windmill where the Spire stood?

Just turn it into a mosque and be done with it.
You know you want to.

I’m confused. I thought DeBlasio wants to get rid of glass to help the environment.

This will house the 180,000 or so bees that survived the fire. WTF??

It only makes sense to save it if they’re restoring it.

It has historic status....and there are plenty of rules. Wait and see what happens.

A greenhouse would be cool! My wife and I visited years ago, and climbed to the top of Notre Dame, and around the roofline. It would have been cool to see a garden up there.

Maybe a night club on the roof. Call it "Body and Soul".

That’s about the fugliest thing I’ve seen since that atrocity they came up with to replace the Twin Towers.
JUST REBUILD IT THE WAY IT WAS FOR 850 YEARS... only FIREPROOF this time.

Looks cool but do they ever get hail there? We found this out the hard way with our skylights.

You can’t build fireproof with lumber... which is what the roof was for 850 years.

The issue of our time is that in societys obsession with birth control it has pushed God out
The French can keep doing this until it has been completely taken over by the enemy of God but then theyre still going to have issues. And issues that cannot be solved by the grace of God
America is teetering in the same realm

All the articles Ive seen about this, the writers refer to the spire as ‘centuries old’.
It wasn’t. It was built in the 1830’s to replace a spire that had been torn down in the late 1700’s that had deteriorated badly and was in danger of falling down.
The wood was not 870 years old, but just under 200...............
