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.

My thought as well.
I’ll bet it wouldn’t be hard to find Sheppard Smith accusing “White Nationalist’s” for some event without proof.
Catholic church was doing the renovations...money was limited....two years just putting up the scaffolding.....I doubt fire suppression measures were considered.
He was an elected official.
Smith is going on and on RIGHT NOW about not mentioning terrorism. He’s making this terrible event into a Shep Smith event. How gay, nutmeg.
A little too lazy to hit a search engine are ya'?
Here's one to get you started.
And here's the first page of a Bing search for the topic that leads to many, many more articles on the subject. A subject they try to downplay.
That's called gross negligence.
Here's what I posted on another thread:

One of the new dem candidates for prez during his announcement thanked the support of his husband.
I don't know the guys whole name or how to spell it but his last name starts with the letters Butt (no pun intended though apropos)
“I just emailed Newscorp and told them to lose the jagoff”.
Would you mind giving us that email address. Shep Smith is disgusting and Fox should hear from as many as possible.
Thank you.
My experience with French construction people is that they are barely out of medieval construction management
French firemen fight this fire as well as their forefathers fought Germans. With luck, they’ll save the foundation.
160 years ‘to build’.....800 years old stood......just hours to be rubble of black ash.
It took several hundred years to build a Catholic Culture in France, and it stood for about 1600 years, and it took only a couple of years to turn it, as a living culture, into something like a building whose walls still stand but whose interior has been burned and whose roof has collapsed.
Since then, the walls have been weathering and eroding, and over the last 60 years some of them are visibly collapsing.
The new mosque could use that
.....”How could the world lose something like this?”....
The world and the earth ages...it was an 800 year old building...wouldn’t take much for a fire to move very fast in that tinder box.
The Bin Laden Company?
You are right as can be. He’s done it in the past. Fox needs to her from as many people as possible.
Is that just due to smoke issues, or have other concerns been expressed?

Catholicism has been dying in France since The French Revolution.
Oh, caww.
Made me cry.
Le Figaro is reporting the roof has collapsed.
