Decision time. Do you:
a) Put your fire crews on a fire where odds are AGAINST containment?, or
b) Put your fire crews in a human chain to take as many relics to safety as possible?”
Eh, I’m goin wit option B
That’s how I see it. Have been searching for some evidence of planning. The French can be a pain in the cahoolias and they could have anticipated ...
But I can see thane running for the artwork and relics. Isn’t that the thing we want to do in a home fire? If we were suited up we’d say forget the structure I’m going in for the photos.
The spire was kinda cool and an iconic symbol from miles away but also proved to be unstoppable once set afire.
I read an article a couple of days ago that said they have practiced evacuating all of the artworks and treasures from the cathedral in case of fire.
