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.

Not certain, but certainly hospital. There have been several churches a month vandalized each month across the EU.

“I wonder what the French sentiment will be when Muslims are shown celebrating. No, I don’t”.

The cathedral is probably beyond saving. What will the French do when it is replaced by a huge mosque?

What a colossal loss to Western Civilization and mankind. So much history. Along with the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame is the symbol of France. This is a spiritual blow to the people of France.

God help us if this was deliberate.

Yeah unless it’s a Clinton thing usually there is an investigation before assigning cause. Seems like they should put the fire out before investigating.

Maybe it will serve as a Wake-Up call for the French, they’ve been asleep for a long time.

We don't know exactly where it started yet.

My gut tells me it wasn't because of the renovations...

Images similar to 9-11.

I can't believe there aren't fire extinguishers every 50 ft..

OMG, this is *heartbreaking*. I've been to beautiful Notre Dame Cathedral many, many times. It has stood for 800+ years, survived many wars.... it's going up in flames. Unbelievable.

The media are saying fire has something to do with current renovations at ND, but -- no doubt -- muzzies worldwide are celebrating right now. >:-(

An historian on Fox News right now is choking back tears...

That is really bad. They better take some drastic action or they could lose the entire structure.

The French state lies on a daily basis; much like our own. Which is why most people here believe it is the muzzies again. A few weeks ago, it was the lovely St. Sulpice.

Many French thought Nazi occupation was good.

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

Perhaps it enabled access, to muslims among the workers.
