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.

It would be surprising if Muslims were not celebrating. They must be positively gleeful.

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.

There could be muslim guy saying “I burned down Notre Dame” runing out, second degree burns on him, and a petrol can in his hand, and they’d blame renovations.
To: Army Air Corps
Not any more. Moose slime renovations don’tchaknow. Will they demand a mosque to satan be built on the site?

Although I have no inside information, I am certain this was a terrorist attack.

The fire is clearly out of control. Yep. Once it got into the framing it went up like a bonfire. The news feed could barely keep up.

Moosies are offended that they are trying to put the fire out.

It’s very telling that the media reports on this story describe Notre Dame as a tourist attraction, not a sacred religious building. I wonder if the place had any religious value at all anymore. France hasn’t been Catholic in more than 200 years.
