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 understand if one is catholic or into historical sites this would be more of a loss because of their personal attachment of what it means to them. Therefore they could imagine many differing ‘messages’ into this event.

However and again..the fact is how wonderful God equipped the firemen and other people who got all the people there and nearby to safety...and protected the adjoining buildings from setting on fire. This could have mushroomed much greater.

I have the same feeling.

I keep thinking that it is symbolic of the erosion of Western Civilization. Notre-Dame destroyed by fire - the end of what took Christianity many centuries to build.

Muslims overrunning Europe, and the Judeo/Christian faith under constant attack and European governments tolerating it all.

It looks like they are on the scaffolding. The guy who took the picture referred to them as workers.

It wouldn’t surprise me if the contractor had to meet hiring guidelines for a certain percentage of new immigrants, etc.

Nor I.

Found this video taken from an earlier day (2011), and the information at the bottom of the video is interesting:

(Today is a very sad day for this world.)

"Why would muzzies climb up into the attic, where they say this fire started, to start a fire? It increases the chance of getting caught, and a fire set on the main floor would get to the attic anyway. Renovations are more likely the cause."

Get that logic out of here.

It's easier for everyone here to scream "Muslims!" like after every mass shooting when it's first breaking, until it turns out to be another white guy.

It’s just unimaginable to think that this fire could have been the result of a seventh century cult/sarcasm

Actually, to think that they could get away with such a thing has about the same chance of a failed hollywood b actor staging an attack against himself and blaming MAGA attackers. But I digress.......

Fire was reported about 6 minutes after closing time, slight red flag.

Rash of Church burnings, Church of St. Sulpice in Paris had a fire during a Mass. Fire department ruled arson I believe.

Also, if arson, Muslims would be on the bottom of the suspects list. A lot of Satanistic stuff being left around the churches. Also, there is a blowback of the pedophile these idiots use as excuse to vandalize.

Of course this could be a major screw up by the workers. Putting on my tin foil hat and thinking the renovation crew screwed up, however, its not on tight.
