According to the police, it was "an accident related to the restoration work being done on the cathedral", not an arson attack, as was initially believed.
The place managed to survive 800 years of wear and tear, the French Revolution, the Napoleonic wars, World War I, World War II, but an accidental fire destroyed it in a couple of hours.

"The main goal now is to cool down the structures.
"One sensitive point is the central scaffolding, which is going to require several hours before it can cooled down completely.
"There is still a risk that this scaffolding could partially collapse but we can consider that the structure of Notre-Dame is saved and preserved in its entirety."

French President Emmanuel Macron just announced that, starting Tuesday, he will launch an international fundraising campaign to rebuild the Notre Dame Cathedral.
Macron, speaking from the scene, described the fire as a “terrible tragedy," but added the “worst had been avoided." He noted that the cathedral's facade and two main towers did not collapse during the fire.
“I’m telling you all tonight — we will rebuild this cathedral together. This is probably part of the French destiny. And we will do it in the next years. Starting tomorrow, a national donation scheme will be started that will extend beyond our borders," Macron said.

Time magazine columnist Christopher J. Hale tweeted, "A Jesuit friend in Paris who works in #NotreDame told me cathedral staff said the fire was intentionally set"; the rumor was quickly picked up and echoed by people on social media. There's been a rash of attacks against churches in France recently, so it seemed plausible.

Re: Notre Dame.
Holy shit. What an iconic building.
Re: Notre Dame.
I think it's the roof and some scaffolding around it that are burning, the stone masonry part can't catch fire so it won't be affected much.
It's going to be fine, but it will need a lot of cleaning up and it will need to have its roof rebuilt.

If I posted that tweet I'd be branded a Nazi on spot. Probably a KKK member too or a mosque shooter.

You can be against mass migration without hanging Hitler's picture on your wall, ya know?
Mass migration is not good for anyone, it will make things worse for everyone in the long term.

You can be against mass migration without sharing Islamophobic images on ESOC, assuming the "You" doesn't mean you specifically, because that is clearly not the case.

Re: Notre Dame.
It looks like the spire wasn't the original one from the 13th century, it's been rebuilt a few times since then.
This one was probably the one they rebuilt during the 19th century repair works.

Re: Notre Dame.
Those statues around the spire may have been shattered too when debris from the burning spire collapsed on them.

Spire on fire
Collapsing
The interior of the cathederal must be drenched in water by now
How the wooden roof adjoined the underlying brick masonry in one point
The whole wooden structure apparently weighed more than 700 tons. It's possible it may have wreaked some structural damage to the underlying masonry when it collapsed.

Re: Notre Dame.
Coincidence or not, there's been another fire at the Saint-Sulpice church in Paris in March, less than one month ago.

Re: Notre Dame.
Funny how a building gets a thread, but nobody seems to bat an eyelash anymore when a few dozen people are murdered or if hundreds of people die in planecrashes or typhoons. If it was a terror attack, then they seem to have struck a chord! Even lejend and dolan are mortarfied.

I never said all muslims are bad or are terrorists. suspecting islamic terrorism has nothing to do with being islamophobic. unless you retardedly bring up immigration. immigration has nothing to do with this or even actual terrrorism.
and this is a national tragedy.
Are you responding to me? Because, my post was just posted at same time as yours, it wasnt a reply to you.
I mean it sucks, but a national tragedy? At least a building can easily be rebuilt. Besides, at some point you can't conserve all those old buildings anymore. Sooner or later there will have to be a debate about which buildings to preserve and why as well as how (for example digital or even VR), as the upkeep will/has become a drain thats bigger than any "immigration crisis". Imagine if 100 million had been pledged to housing for immigrants, lol, lepen's head would've exploded. In the meanwhile boeings corporate greed has killed 700 people in the past year, and nobody bats an eyelash. I guess they came in the wrong wrapping.
