French Interior Ministry official says firefighters might not be able to save Notre Dame Cathedral.

- "flying water tankers"NBQ00
- timelinenb
- Yeah sending 6t of water on a fragilised wood structure in an urban area is very logicBennn
- multilevel structure with lots of covered spaces, what also burns at a much higher temperature than a bushfire.sted
- at least he didn't imply they should have prevented it by sweeping moremonospaced
- God always hated that church.utopian
- It's the French 911robotron3k
- No Robo, u moron. Its another careless contractor during renovations as always.tank02
- robo, you don't seriously believe it was some muslim terrorist who did this?NBQ00
- he is trying to say is that for the french people this event is like 911 to you in the USsted
- +wassted
- yeah, we get it sted ... he's trying to say it is a terrorist attackmonospaced
- :((( like 30 mins ago I was thinking about how to explain imbecile few posts bellow,why nobody will forget this,my first idea was 911, quickly changed my mindsted
- because it's a stupid idea to start this conversation about terrorism.sted
- yeah, to the USA, 911 is purely terrorism, not just a great lossmonospaced
- The only reason I said 911 is because I also watched the towers burn all day long from Brooklyn and it reminded me of the same scene.robotron3k
- I wonder if Trump would ever say anything like this about black churches that have been set on fire in the south.fooler
- first he thought- let´s build a wall around the fire , but then came this great idea with the flying water tankers,..you all learn that at trump univsersity?neverscared
- Trump carefully watched the Muslims from Eiffel Tower cheer and dance as the church burned down...true story.utopian
- Damn you Elon! I told you quit talking out your ass on twitter in hopes to confuse bots to boost stock prices!deathboy

People will talk about this as The great fire of 2019 in 200 years.
- Did Nostradamus predict this fire?NBQ00
- #Bennnsplanation of the dayKrassy
- few people outside of Paris will care next week. I'd venture to guess most people don't care now.imbecile
- @imbecile ah, c'mon! really? this place has so much meaning to millions of people all over the world!Krassy
- yeah man, its not an ordinary monumentBennn
- even if the most historically significant monument in France but if its gone, will it really matter? enough for people to be bummed about it in 200 yrs?_niko
- the great fire? there are so many more the last year or so that were much biggermonospaced
- Aside from news consuming public, no one will know. The Catholic religion is seen as hypocritical & people like to watch bad things happen to child molesters.imbecile
- @_niko it will be rebuilt and continue to hold meaning to people far beyond 200 years from now.Krassy
- what meaning exactly? as a place to worship imaginary sky gods? or a place to prop up the world's biggest con artists?_niko
- or as imbecile said child molesters._niko
- sorry no disrespect meant, it was a wonder or architecture, and sad to see it go, but my point is what to do moving forward._niko
- uneducated peasants. it's an architectural masterpiece, every generation added something to it and it's the symbol of Gothic architecture.sted
- not to mention it's sacred significance.sted
- @_niko, it's honestly difficult to even beging to respond to what you wrote, man. Shows more than ignorance, unfortunately.Krassy
- fair enough krassy, just because it doesn't hold any meaning for me personally doesn't mean it's not significant for millions. But i still don't agree rebuildin_niko
- It'll re-open as a WetherspoonsPhanLo
- Yeah come to think of it, more than likely, I take everything back, save the cathedral! Lol_niko
- that cathedral represents an organization that intentionally protects adults who abuse children. let it burn.imbecile
- that cathedral represents the hard work and collaboration of architects, masons
sculptors, painters, glass craftsmen, carpenterssted - it will be redesigned in autocad and 3d printed.sted
- Name some of the architects. I’ll name a bunch of abusers.imbecile
- We can make it a game.imbecile

as shitty as this is, I hope they don't rebuild it. 6m just for renos never mind what it would cost to rebuild from scratch.
Leave it as a legacy of France's past and build something progressive and helpful for the future.
- A McDonald'sNBQ00
- Progressive...OBBTKN
- honestly, leave it a s a relic of the past. they shouldn't rebuild this any more than Rome should rebuild the colosseum or Athens the Parthenon._niko
- Whaou _niko. Are u for real ?
Highest level of stupidity I've seen since the beginning of the year. I know what I'm talking about, I read the internet daily.gonzalle - really? is the notre dame cathedral more historically significant than the colosseum or the parthenon? would you spend $1bn to restore it? could that money be_niko
- ...used for something better? explain yourself otherwise you're the one that sounds like an idiot._niko
- and if you bring religion into this, i've got nothing more to say to you._niko
- You must be very high.gonzalle
- not high enough :)_niko
- they build progressive stuff all time in paris:) they will rebuild, it's classified a world monument so diff. world monument preservation fonds will pay for it.uan
- world monument preservation funds?monospaced
- I'd rather the money went to schools, technology, science, medicine, the arts etc than an ancient relic but that's just me :)_niko
- turns out they exist!monospaced
- lol, thought he was making that up too!_niko
- with that logic let's stop all the excavations, stop maintenance on everything that's older than 100 y.o including eiffel, parthenon and pyramidsBeeswax
- preservations are one thing, returning them to their former glory is another. like i said if they can salvage some or most of it fine, leave it as it is_niko
- and it says a lot about the state of the world in 2019 when this is getting more press coverage and is more significan than the first image of a black hole lol._niko

The cathedral was undergoing a 6M+ Euro renovation. Rumors on the web are it may have been caused by construction workers smoking.
Not sure if that is really the cause but if it is how fucked up is that?
So much history destroyed.
- highly unlikely, c'monKrassy
- Highly unlikely? The French are born with a cigarette in one hand and coffee on the other. Very likely.ArmandoEstrada
- nope.Krassy
- electrical fail is what they expect.uan

This city can't catch a break. First the gas leak explosion earlier and again yellow vests protests seems like every few days.
Seems not the best place to visit or live in at the moment.
