The roof has collapsed and the fire is still raging; old beams and timbers burning-up like straw.

Seriously. I also read they think there is 3 pieces of the true cross up there. These phony relics are one of the reasons for the reformation. Its a tragic loss of an historic building though

It is as though were watching Western civilization burn. Yes, we are.

This is terrible. I've always loved Gothic architecture, Notre Dame and Sainte-Chapelle were my two favorite sights in Paris.
I wonder if this is the work of arson/terrorism vs. something more mundane, like an electrical fire (things often go wrong when retrofitting old buildings for electric lighting).
To: miss marmelstein
Officials in Paris said the fire could be linked to renovation works being carried out at the cathedral.
But.."Some ancient astronaut theorists believe"...differently.

I’m guessing there isn’t enough water to use. They are sending out fire boats on the Seine now.

It could be a construction accident, or perhaps some people did something.

Dayum. I might have climbed the staircase in that spire to get a spectacular view of Paris with my Dad back in 1986. I had to climb around 500 steps to get there, if I recall correctly. But I was 19 and a lightweight back then, so the climb hardly tired me.

When will they announce a new mosque to be built on the site, you know, as a symbol of peace and brotherhood, and commitment to France’s “diversity?”

The skilled artisans no longer exist to “rebuild” the cathedral. It took generations to build it.

It’s probably only a matter of time. And most of the French will accept it.

France demonstrates the same remarkable ability to fight a fire that they have shown on how to fight a war...

When Jesus comes, these Moslems are going to end up in a place in which there will be no lack of fire, although it will, strangely enough, be pitch dark where they’re going.
To: enduserindy
Seems like they should put the fire out before investigating. Oh, I agree.
I hope they can avoid destroying the evidence while putting the fire out and while doing the investigation.
You know like Hillary managed to destroy her Blackberrys while helping the FBI with their investigation of her email.

It could be a construction accident, or perhaps some people did something.My money is on a spark from the electrical system in the roof, possibly caused by the ongoing renovations.
