      One really stunning aspect right now- the roof is totally gone, and the walls are very high, and you can still see flames above the walls. So much fuel available. Very, very sad.

        All we can hope for now is that the stone walls and towers can stand without any trusses. No way they can send people in, there can't be a location that wouldn't be considered a collapse zone with how tall the walls and towers are.

            MSNBC guest said the roof alone was 50 hectares of timber.

                Paris FD says the next hour and a half are critical to see if they can save the building. There are crews going into the structure to save what they can.

                Also noted that this has been burning for three hours now.

                  reports say that the sacred relics and movable art works were removed.

                  Hope that's true.

                          French Ministry of Interior says 400 firefighters on site are to save what they can, but the building is a loss.
