Hope they get it out before too much irreversible damage is done.

It's gone.

When it was "just" smoke, I thought, it's okay, it's not that bad. Then they showed fully engulfed flames. I'm not sure why I'm this upset.

Because it's a major historical site and no matter if they rebuild it, it'll never be the original or the same. Sad day.

Yeah. And it's been there so long, you think it'll always be there and you have time.

I know - it’s a strange feeling to be so inexplicably emotional. I think that it’s just such a iconic piece of Western civilization, it’s sort of just part of us all in some subtle way.

Well that thoroughly sucks.

Yes... this is a very sad day indeed..

Are they 100% that is was a remodeling accident?

I know it's not close to the same, but this reminds me of when The Cabildo caught fire from a welders torch..

Man, it survived the French Revolution, only to succumb to renovations... Crazy..

People in France must be devastated.

I don’t know how they could be 100% of anything at this point - at least not in public. Somebody might know exactly what happened but that’s not really the focus right now as far as what information is public.

People in France must be devastated.

I heard a French reporter on the radio saying that it’s a national tragedy and everyone is just either in tears or just sitting there in total shock at the destruction.

And the Germans.

I remember my MIL did one 3D puzzle in her life and it was Notre Dame. Something like this one.
