I am pretty ignorant about this kind of stuff, but why? Why not try to put it out?
The fire is in too high a location to be put down with water. Not enough pressure to reach that.
The news was super quick to say "possibly due to ongoing renovation". Until it's 100% confirmed I'm gonna be super doubtful, and even then I'll be doubtful. There's been many burned churches all throughout France in recent years and we know exactly who's responsible and I wouldn't be surprised if this was also the case here.
agreed - for the architecture and history alone. felt similarly when ISIS was destroying muslim relicsI'm not religious by any means, but this is truly a tragedy.

According to some guy on BBC news, the entire inner wooden frame is now on burning which means everything but the two main towers will most likely be gone in the coming hours.
Depressing to hear considering you can still currently see a lot of it standing.
Absolutely. Why would you say such a thing and why do you think it is appropriate?Is it too soon to suggest that a Mosque be built in its place to honor the history of the location and the new face of France?
Implying that I don't believe in it. Plain and simple.
hmmmmmmmmmmm,,.......
What are you even doing, man?Is it too soon to suggest that a Mosque be built in its place to honor the history of the location and the new face of France?
I know the human tragedy doesn't compare but this saddens me just as much as September 11 saddened me. To see something like this collapse is heartbreaking.
4 churches in 3 months is no conspiracy anymore. It is an attack. Whoever did that I do not now but I doubt it was an accident after this.The flames are still fully burning and already the conspiracy theories are starting.

To be fair, there have been a series of anti-catholic attacks in France including arsons of holy places and the desecration of the blessed sacrament. Though, jumping to conclusions never helped anyone and so far the fire appears to be linked to the previous restorations.The flames are still fully burning and already the conspiracy theories are starting.
I've seen apartment fires on the local news with more firetrucks and emergency personnel. What's going on here?

Other than the Spire or whatever it is called, looks like it is still intact.Holy fucking shit, the building is like what, 400 years old? And today is the day it burns to ground, unbelievable.
More like over 700-800 yearsHoly fucking shit, the building is like what, 400 years old? And today is the day it burns to ground, unbelievable.
Literally every event is an occasion to push politics. Funnily enough, people like these guys will then accuse SJWs of inserting politics everywhere.Come on guys. What is happening is horrible and a true tragedy.
What has become this site if every thread is crippled with Islamophobia? Unbelievable.

It is the 4th church in 3 Month in France that was lit on fireI'm with Julio... I know the hatemongers here are desperate to blame this on Muslims, but it's far too early and the initial evidence indicates that this was an accident, not intentional.
