PARIS, April 15 (Reuters) - Notre-Dame Cathedral went up in flames on Monday in a roaring blaze that devasted the Parisian landmark, one of France's most visited places.

Flames burst through the roof of the centuries-old cathedral and quickly engulfed the spire, which collapsed.
A huge plume of smoke wafted across the city and ash fell over a large area.
Firefighters cleared the area around the cathedral, which marks the very center of Paris.
President Emmanuel Macron canceled an address to the nation that he had been due to give later on Monday evening. A presidential official said Macron was to go to the scene of the blaze.
"A terrible fire is under way at Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris," Mayor Anne Hidalgo said on Twitter.
France 2 television reported that police were treating the incident as an accident.

Sheppard Smith cut off French Expert saying to brace for a finding of terrorism !! Why did he do that?
FNC doesn’t have any news on the cause. Please stop responding to my posts.
Even the lefty Newsweek reported this:
In the middle of those types of attacks, this happens?
It’ll take the Islamic State or some nutjob group taking ‘credit’ for it for the MSM to admit it.
Just in from CNN. Muslim with MAGA Hat seen fleeing the scene
Thanks, Antoninus.
*PING* to the troll Fury.
It may never be rebuilt.
The original Cathedral took over 250 years and whole forests to build it. It would take Billions to just rebuild. And the artwork will never be replaced.
There are no forests in Europe to replace the timbers used to support the roof and towers none.
We are witnessing a passing of a era.
(Hats off in reverence)
But theyll certainly tell you that it was renovations, you know them not having any cause
Latin Mass is offered at ND at least once a year for the pilgrimage to Chartres.
When I was there three years ago, it was clear that it was an active religious building. Mass was celebrated there daily, and great care was made to remind visitors that it was a church. Besides the many signs, I'm sure no one can forget the frequent announcements of "Silence".
Watching CNN because Sheppard Smith is on fnc.
Someone was calling in (eyewitness) to Shep Smith and said, “I know this isn’t politically correct but...” And Shep cut them off and wouldn’t let them continue. Guess it was the Muslims celebrating.
That story is from 2016.
OMG!
Permits already in to rebuild as a mosque?
So is ours.
The socialist fire department didnt show up. They were arguing over the shift change and who had to work. The French will go to great lengths to not reveal the truth that this was a muslim attack but I expect a claim of responsibility very soon by Isis. Listen for that . They repeatedly targeted it and it was Easter Week.It was sabotage and you will never convince me otherwise.
Long targeted. No doubt it was terrorism.
