So Friday, one of the terrorists from the last time Notre Dame was targeted in 2016 was sentenced.


Again, probably just coincidence along with the rash of church vandalisms/arsons in recent weeks

The BCS would have never let Notre Dame burn.

That's pretty clearly from the back part of the church that didn't burn.
Which part was that, exactly?

If you think those are the actual crown of thorns, then I have some bad news for you.

I gotta say, these terrorists are bush league. They didn't even burn down the lower level.

I take that back then. Apparently many of the interior photos posted here are actually of other Notre Dames around the world, particularly the Basilica.

Notre Dame de Paris isn't really that ornate inside:

The pictures from above made it seem like a total loss, but apparently there are more than one level. The main part looks mostly intact. It even has a roof. I didn't know that was possible considering the reports of a total loss.

i think the roof had stone arches underneath that protected a lot of it. the stuff that burned off was a layer above the stone roof. maybe a more modern roof material

Yeah I'm hoping it was just the old wooden roof and beams that went up quickly. That inside pic looks much better than I thought it would look.

there was a report of a firefighter being seriously injured during the fire

I hope that firefighter makes a full recovery and there are no more injuries
