  • Notre Dame Cathedral is burning down...

    Here's an NBC live feed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIXxTrAa9nc

    There are a ton of them right now.

    There was a lot of construction equipment for a major renovation. Right now, people theorize that it started there.

    But it's pretty much gone.

    There's another theory... https://www.newswars.com/notre-dame-...ately-started/

    And given the size of those flames, I could certainly see it as a possibility.

          Oh, it was certainly one wonder of a place. Great acoustics, too. Of course this isn't the first time there was destruction, as IIRC it used to have the royal lineage until the Revolution.

            You must not know that most of the inner structure is made of wood, an entire forest's worth. So there's more than enough fuel to make flames that large.

            While it could be possible, the flame size has nothing to do with that.

            You should be smart enough to know that....

              People should be smart enough for a lot of things, but there we have it.

                I'm well aware of the building. And considering the fire started in the roof, which given the structure of the cathedral needs to have that sort of truss support...

                I'm just not buying the cover story, especially given the migrant takeover and Yellow Vest activity on the weekends.

                    It was spectacular. This makes me feel I should see Chartres.

                        Given the renovations and all the scaffolding, I'm going to believe this was a terrible, terrible accident until proven otherwise.

                              While I have been there, it never dawned on me that there was so much wood until you see it burning. So much, that there was little hope to really put it out...
