Notre Dame Cathedral on Fire
The Telegraph ^ | 15 APRIL 2019 | David Chazan, Paris James Rothwell

Posted on 04/15/2019 10:33:16 AM PDT by Attention Surplus Disorder

Notre Dame cathedral has caught fire, according to the Parisian fire service and eyewitnesses.

Footage posted online shows a large fire engulfing the upper part of the cathedral, with the flames licking around its two bell towers.

A major operation was under way, the fire department added, while a city hall spokesman said on Twitter that the area was being cleared.

Officials in Paris said the fire could be linked to renovation works being carried out at the cathedral.

It comes after France's Saint Sulpice church , used in the filming of Dan Brown’s ‘Da Vinci Code’ thriller, caught fire in March.

I’m actually in Paris right now. Had a late lunch a few blocks from Notre Dame but the first I heard of the fire was when a friend from the States texted me the news after I got back to my hotel.

Weird.

My prayer is the French people will be inspired to rebuild Notre Dame better than it was before. Perhaps it's God's Way of waking them up.

My prayers to the French people as well, however Notre Dame Cathedral - even if any of it survives somehow - will never be the same. And any renovation will NEVER be 'better' than it was before. Never.

Just heard that filthy son of a bitch Shepherd Smith rudely cut off a French politician who was about to insinuate this was perhaps the work of the usual suspects.

Had read online that the fire is an accident because of renovation work and not set.

And for their trouble they got their heads shaved and then were dragged through the streets on “shame parade”.

The idiot Sheppard Smith was interviewing an elected official from France who barely even insinuated that it could have been.......and Sheppard Smith interrupted him and said, Sir, we don’t even make them accusations and basically hung up on him.

First the moral collapse, second the physical collapse.

Shep Smith just threw an ELECTED French official off the air for daring to bring terrorism into the discussion. You would think inquiring minds would want to know what someone on the scene has to say.

The legacy media will have a hard time ignoring this one.

It will be harder to cover up.

I’m glad I got to see it last summer; I will be surprised if it’s rebuilt in my lifetime.

Same here. No matter what rebuild / renovation they do now to the once-beautiful iconic Notre Dame Cathedral, it will *never* be even close to what it once was. :-(

Who is carrying out the renovations?

Ji-Had Construction, apparently.

No, I had read online it is because of renovation work and it is an accident.

Le Monde's coverage...

Incendie de la cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris, en direct : la flèche de l’édifice s’est effondrée

And if Smith can't be bothered to keep up with the French language coverage, Smith should fermez his bouche.

What a drama queen! And no respect for his guest who sounded perfectly reasonable.
