Damn! That's looking really bad!

 

[Scrumpet]

I’m sad because it’s a good building.

C’était @Rooney in Paris

 

[Tincanalley]

Wow that looks terrible

I guess someone found jesus' mixtape.

 

[Eriku]

Such weird timing for me. I was in Paris for the first time and saw Notre Dame a couple of weeks ago.

 

[Rado_N]

This is all your fault!

 

[Eriku]

This is all your fault!

I did leave some kindling and oily rags behind when I went. You think that might have had something to do with it?

 

[ManUtd1999]

Terrible news. It's looking bad!

Sounds like a job for Elon Musk

It's no Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

 

[NoLogo]

Yeah just saw this. Fecking hell. Visited Paris about 3 times and always went to see Notre Dame. I hope they can contain it before it completely burns down but this looks really bad.

 

[VeevaVee]

Feck. Hate seeing stuff like that get damaged or destroyed

The entire spire seems to have been destroyed it seems.

 

[Tommy]

Whoa, that's pretty insane.

 

[Drifter]

Part of the building as collapsed. Fire looks very hard to control, being a very old building that is understandable.

 

[Penna]

It's Holy Week, too. How sad to see such an important cathedral in flames.

 

[Klopper76]

I was there a few days ago and saw it on a river cruise. I hope they can put it out.

Love how his brain works sometimes.

 

[Fosu-Mens]

Been some serious vandalism and some attempts at arson of some catholich churches in France. Seems like someone has stepped up their game.

I like the way he thinks he has to tell people in Paris to act quickly, like as if they're just slouching around smoking Gitanes or something.

Seems to be due to the renovation work going on at the moment. Of course it's not confirmed yet.

The spire has collapsed

Spire collapsed, part of the roof fell. This is a cultural disaster!! FGS, do something!!

 

[GhastlyHun]

This is unbelievably sad

 

[Tommy]

Why does reading this remind me of the Team America: World Police intro

 

[FootyGirl88]

Awful - I was planning to do a day trip to Paris soon but it seems the place is on fire every other day.

 

[Carolina Red]

I’m so glad I got to see it.

It’s gone

They are doing their best, Donald!

 

[MTF]

Shouldn't there be like copters or some aerial firefighting by now?!!

Is that done in urban areas?

 

[GhastlyHun]

Would very likely destroy what's left.

 

[starman]

Damm very hard to watch seeing it being destroyed. Ive been to Paris many times but Euro 2016 was the first time I had been as a adult to see the Cathedral and still remember the detail of the architecture well. Theres also lots of artifacts inside

 

[Alex99]

Is that done in urban areas?

I'd have thought they'd just be risking even more structural damage if they suddenly just dumped a ton of water on it.

Dont know what if any cultural significance it has to the french but it was a spectacularly beautiful building.
