Yeah, this was intentionally set, absolutely no doubt. A stone church burns like it’s made of dry hay? Yeah Ok. And if it’s found to be yet another act of Islamic terror no doubt the French will do absolute sht about it and dork John Kerry will have James Taylor sing them a song and nothing will change.
The roof and framing are wood.
The cathedral of Chartres burned in 1194. The difference is that the people of that time had the faith, the will, and the skills to rebuild. Notre Dame de Paris will never be as it was. This world is passing away.
only stone on the outside - 55hectacres of wood were used to build the interior and support arches/roof (heard that on tv, I’m not that smart lol). Much replaced with new wood in the 18th century renovations.
I don’t understand why the two water lines I see are not aimed at the bottom of the flames instead of the top, where it is just creating steam.
Trump suggested a waterdrop, French engineer said, no, it will make it collapse, but heard on Fox just now that the roof has collapsed anyway, and they don’t think they can stop the fire. So bring on the waterdrops, then!
Holding fire for now.
BUt if you are correct, then I say we get to play too.
