Got to say the video of the spire on fire looked pretty fricking cool, if you ignore the reality of it.

That doesn't look like an accident.

If the main structure stays in place, we are still looking at a multi-decade rebuild.

Awful.

French media says it is due to refurbishing that was happening. So whichever company was handling that can just go right ahead and shutdown. No way you survive after setting one of the most iconic cathedrals in the world ablaze.


Nah, next up they're renovating the Sistine Chapel, Taj Mahal and Hagia Sophia.

2 questions remain: 1) who is responsible and 2) how will it be blamed on Trump.

Old building with exposed wood and a ton of candles in it.


I mean, it's stood for 800+ years with a lot more candles burning in it most of that time, I'm guessing, than likely would have been burning today.

It is construction related.

You have no way of determining that when they're still fighting the fire.

What's the ethnic makeup of the workers of the company working on the renovations? I'd bet money at least 2/3rds are Muslim. I'm not saying it was intentional.........just curious.

Unless the construction folks actually called it in and said "OMG! our equipment created a fire and we were unable to put it out!"


Hey now, that's enough of that common sense thing you like to bring into threads.

No. That’s what all the people hoping it was Muslims are doing.


Shut up, you damn douchebag! There is a time and place for everything, and now is not the time for your bullshite. We are watching a world treasure burn to the ground before our eyes. Ask around, I have been as vocal a critic of the Catholic church as anyone here, but throwing it out here and now is complete dickbag. Stop.

With the scaffolding wrapped around the building like that, if fuel or paint thinner or whatever leaked and caught on fire, it wouldn’t take long for the whole structure to go up.

There's video out there right now of Muslims all over Paris shouting snackbar. Even if this is an accident, can you imagine living with those animals?

They're evil fricks and need to be driven out.
